Under 2.5 Goals

We expect a nervy game with very few chances created and logically with less than 2.5 goals scored too. Our Port Vale vs Exeter prediction is backed by the fact that 4 of the last 5 league matches between the teams ended with under 2.5 goals. Also, all of Exeter’s last 4 away league games went under 2.5 goals.

BTTS – No

To follow our first Port Vale vs Exeter prediction we also think not both teams will score in this game. There had been no BTTS in any of the last 5 league matches between the sides. Also, Exeter registered only 1 BTTS in their last 6 away league games.

Exeter or Draw

With our last free tip, we go for a double chance favouring Exeter to win or to draw. Port Vale enter this match in truly awful form  with just 1 point won from their last 5 league games. At the same time, Exeter managed to win 3 of their last 5 away matches.

To add to that, Exeter already beat Port Vale twice this season. They trashed them 4-0 at home back in August in a league match. Also, edged them 3-2 away in November in a FA Cup tie.

Port Vale vs Exeter Lineups, Match Preview and Latest Team News

Port Vale

The Valians have earned just 1 point from their last 5 league games and their displays had been pretty poor in recent weeks. The main weakness remains the defence where lots of individual errors cause constant damage.

It seems for the coming match Port Vale will have selection issues both in defence and attack. Vale will be without 5 injured players, including star centre-back Jones and the 2 main forwards Wilson and Butterworth.

Exeter

Exeter have recorded just 1 win in the last 6 rounds, but they remain solid defensively. Also, some good news regarding the lineup should boost confidence. Main goalkeeper Blackmann is fit and ready to return for this match. Also injured until recently winger Sparkes is expected to be involved.

The one big absentee remains key centre-back Diabate, but Exeter sort of got used to playing without him already.
