Reading vs Port Vale: Top free betting tips
Our Reading vs Port Vale prediction is for a tight game between two sides that struggle for consistency all season. Will either team be able to outsmart their opponents?
The Royals remain in the relegation zone but this is mainly due to the two-point deductions they endured. The form of Reading has been decent lately, unbeaten in the last 6 rounds (W2 D4). Port Vale are enjoying mid-table comfort right now and they do enough to maintain it with their form in the last 7 rounds solid (W3 D2 L2).
Correct outcome prediction: Draw
Our first Reading vs Port Vale prediction is that there will be no winner in this match. The Royals recorded 4 draws in just their last 6 league matches coming into this game. Port Vale are also no strangers to this outcome with 2 of their last 5 away games ending in draws.
Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals
In general, the clashes between the teams tend to be low-scoring affairs. In only 1 of the last 7 H2Hs, there were more than 2 total goals scored. The same is valid for Port Vale’s away games this season. Only 1 of the last 5 away matches for the Valiants had more than 2 goals. This is why our second Reading vs Port Vale prediction is that the game will stay under 2.5 goals.
Correct score prediction: 1-1 draw
With our final Reading vs Port Vale prediction, we combine the first two free betting tips we gave you to forecast a 1-1 final score. This was the exact result in all of Port Vale’s last 3 away draws. Also, 2 of Reading’s last 4 draws were 1-1 outcomes.

How far will Port Vale’s fans travel to Reading?
Heading south on a freezing Saturday is always a good move for Port Vale’s fans. Still, the temperatures awaiting the travelling supporters in Berkshire will hardly be above freezing either so dressing warm is a must for those brave souls who embark on this journey.
The driving distance between Stoke-on-Trent and Reading is 146 miles (235km) and with the road network that will have to be tackled not one of the better ones it will take close to 3 hours for the away fans to cover the distance just one way.
