Walsall V Port Vale: Preview

The next game for Port Vale is a trip to Walsall on Saturday, with the 12:30pm kick-off taking place at the Bescot Stadium. Vale head into the contest on the back of their first League Two win of the season, a 1-0 victory over Exeter City, which lifted them to five points from their opening six games. Walsall, meanwhile, have made an unbeaten start in the league and sit on 10 points after six matches, although three of those games have ended in draws.

For Port Vale, the challenge will be to carry the confidence from last weekend into their first away league win of the campaign. Vale have taken just one point from their three away league matches so far, while Walsall have conceded only four goals in six league outings, suggesting another disciplined defensive display could be required. With both sides having shown a tendency towards low-scoring games, the clash looks set to be a closely contested League Two encounter, with Vale looking to build momentum after finally getting their first league victory
