Port Vale vs Wigan: Top free betting tips
Our Port Vale vs Wigan prediction is for a close game that the visitors will edge. Can the Valiants prove us wrong?
Both teams find themselves in the bottom half of the table and split by a single point. However, Wigan had points deducted and their form is much better than their table position suggests. Port Vale won just 1 of their last 12 league games (D3 L8).
Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Both teams have struggled to put the ball into the back of the net this season. Port Vale saw a single goal scored in 6 of their 8 home league matches so far. Wigan are on a run of 7 consecutive away games in which there were no more than 2 total goals. This is why our first Port Vale vs Wigan prediction is for the game to stay under 2.5 goals.
