Recent respective form guides

Port Vale's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Valiants have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Cheltenham T.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Robins have hit 8 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Port Vale are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 5 points from their 8 games thus far. Cheltenham T. find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 8 points from their 8 matches.
