Port Vale vs TranmerePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Vale Park opens its gates to a Port Vale side still without a point: their opener was a 0-2 defeat on the road, beaten twice at the back and nothing to show going forward. Tranmere did the opposite, winning 2-0 at their own ground for a first three points and fifth place. Neither club has anything yet in the column that matters here, the home record for Port Vale and the away record for Tranmere. Four goals were scored across the two opening fixtures, all of them by the winning sides. The league benchmark stands at 2.42 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
