Port Vale and Chesterfield meet so often that they have become a well-known pairing, especially recently, with the last two meetings both ending 1-1. This time is different in that Port Vale are struggling near the bottom of the table, while Chesterfield are in the upper zone of the standings. Port Vale just won 1-0 in the league in their latest match and have won back-to-back games, but the overall picture of the season is not so good, scoring only 4 goals from 8 matches, while Chesterfield are unbeaten in 2 straight and have scored 17 goals from 10 matches, a team that clearly dominates possession (58.2% per match) and puts about twice as many shots on target as their opponents. This game is likely to take the shape of Port Vale sitting back and waiting to counter, while Chesterfield control the game with a patient build-up. The first half may not open up much, but in the second half there is a tendency for Chesterfield to push higher and find more finishing chances.
