Port Vale

DLWLLL 📉

Port Vale will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 7-0 FA Cup loss in their previous game against Chelsea.

In that game, Port Vale managed 23% possession and 4 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target. The scorer for Port Vale was Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel (43' Own goal). At the other end, Chelsea got 20 shots on goal with 11 on target. Jorrel Hato (2'), Pedro (25'), Tosin Adarabioyo (57'), Santos (69'), Estêvão (82') and Alejandro Garnacho (92') scored for Chelsea.

Port Vale haven’t made the most of their chances in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 vs opponents during the course of their previous 6 matches. In those games, Port Vale have also seen the number of goals against them total 11. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern shall be sustained in this next game.

Their previous form shows that Port Vale:

• haven't won against Rotherham United in their previous 2 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their last 2 league matches at home.

Rotherham United

DLDLLD ⚠

In their previous fixture, Rotherham United drew 0-0 in the League One match with Stevenage.

It has become apparent that Rotherham United have failed to get amongst the goals over their last 6 encounters, contributing the poor return of just 2. In those matches, The Millers have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 11.

Their previous form shows that Rotherham United:

• haven't won against Port Vale when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are without an away win for the past 5 matches in the league.
