Watters gives Vale a focused scoring angle. The club signed him after scoring only 36 League One goals last season, specifically to add firepower. His record of 13 goals for Crawley shows he can thrive at this level. A Watters equaliser after Oldham begin strongly at Boundary Park would land both legs cleanly. The team-sheet condition is essential, as Watters was absent from Vale\u2019s most recent cup squad.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Mike Fondop-Talom<\/strong> <strong>over 0.5 shots on target, BTTS and under 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Mike Fondop-Talom to record one or more shots on target, with both teams to score and under 2.5 goals, has a coherent 1-1 route. Fondop provides the strongest individual leg: he registered 32 shots on target in 27 League Two starts last season, or 1.19 per start, and has produced ten in his last ten listed matches at 1.2 per 90. The goals combination needs a controlled one-goal-each contest, which fits a closely priced fixture. Fondop only needs one accurate effort, not a goal, so his high shot share gives the builder a reliable attacking foundation within a tight 1-1 script.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-soa-bst-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">Back these tips with bet365 \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

Boundary Park is a ground where they can make life difficult for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consistency at the top end of the pitch was the missing ingredient, but the platform is there. A disciplined start against a Port Vale side still finding their feet would set the tone nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-port-vale-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Port Vale go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Port Vale drop into League Two after a chastening League One campaign that ended in a 22nd-place relegation, with just 36 goals scored all season. As one of the bigger clubs at this level, expectations remain high despite that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a rebuild under way, and a tough opening trip to Boundary Park will test how quickly the Valiants can adjust. Finding a cutting edge in attack is the obvious priority after last season&#8217;s struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card.jpg\" alt=\"Oldham Athletic vs Port Vale: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12155736\/lt1_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-oldham-athletic-vs-port-vale-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oldham Athletic vs Port Vale head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">09\/04\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Port Vale<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Oldham Athletic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">20\/11\/21<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Oldham Athletic<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Port Vale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">09\/03\/21<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Port Vale<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Oldham Athletic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">24\/10\/20<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Oldham Athletic<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Port Vale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">26\/10\/19<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Port Vale<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Oldham Athletic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sides have not met since 2022, with Oldham&#8217;s spell in the National League and Port Vale&#8217;s time in League One keeping them apart.
