Port Vale host Grimsby Town in League Two, with the home side sitting 23rd on 5 points from 7 matches, while the visitors are 9th with 13 points from 9 matches. Both teams need points from this game for different reasons. The home side want to finally start picking up points, while the visitors want to keep their momentum going. Port Vale just won 2-0 in the cup and are unbeaten in 2 straight, but in the league they have scored very little, averaging only 0.43 goals per game from 7 matches, while Grimsby Town have lost 1-2 in two straight league games, but overall this season they have drawn 4 of 9 and scored 13 goals, so their attack looks to have more about it. This game is likely to see Grimsby Town dominate possession more, because their average possession of 55.1% over their last 10 games is higher than Port Vale's 47.6%. The home side will likely sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances from the speed of their forwards. If Port Vale can hold firm and not concede first, the game has a chance of ending without defeat.
