Port Vale vs Crewe: Top free betting tips

To sustain their winning sequence, Port Vale lineup against Crewe Alexandra in the first group stage game of EFL Trophy against Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday, 5 September. The Railwaymen have also resumed their winning form in League Tow with a victory over MK Dons.

Match result prediction: Port Vale to win

Port Vale come into this game after four consecutive victories in League One and EFL Cup, including the EFL Cup’s fixture against Crewe Alexandra. Meanwhile, the Railwaymen have confirmed just one victory in the same course while ending two in draws. But Crewe have lost their last two successive games away from Mornflake Stadium. Adding more to this, Crewe Alexandra has tasted defeats in all of their last four games against Port Vale. Therefore, we back the Valiants to fancy their chances and collect three points in this game.

Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

None of the recent four H2Hs between these two sides have finished with Over 2.5 Goals. Port Vale have found the back of the net six times in their last four fixtures. But Crewe Alexandra have been even worse as they scored just three goals in the same duration. Additionally, the Valiants have also claimed three clean sheets in the last five matches in EFL Cup and League One. Considering these facts, we predict this game to finish with Under 2.5 Goals.

Correct score prediction: 1-0 to Port Vale

Por Vale claimed three consecutive clean sheets at Vale Park before this game. On the other hand, Crewe Alexandra has failed to score in the last two road fixtures while conceding just one goal in each of them. On the other hand, the Valiants have also scored only one goal in three of their previous five competitive home games. Port Vale also managed to score more than one in only one of the recent five H2Hs against Crewe. Given these numbers, we predict a narrow margin of only 1-0 for the Valiants to claim three points in this fixture.
