The upcoming weeks will determine the fate of numerous teams, including Burton and Port Vale, who are both striving to avoid relegation. Burton currently sits four points clear of the relegation zone, whereas Port Vale trails safety by six points. Thus, their impending match holds significant importance for both.
Burton entered the most crucial part of the season in dismal form, having secured only one point in their last six matches. They suffered a 1-0 defeat on the road against Exeter in their previous game. Despite the loss, Martin Patterson’s team arguably deserved more, as they put up a commendable performance in the second half. This solid showing may serve as a wake-up call for Burton, potentially improving their performance in their upcoming Saturday match against Port Vale.
Port Vale’s form is currently worse than ever. Their last 14 matches have resulted in four draws and ten losses, leaving them in a dire situation. This past weekend, Darren Moore’s team suffered a 2-0 home loss against Oxford United. This game further highlighted Port Vale’s ongoing offensive struggles and brought them even closer to the brink of relegation to League Two.
Burton vs Port Vale pick: Under 2.5 goals
In the past six matches, Burton only managed to score two goals, with four of those games seeing less than 2.5 goals. Similarly, Port Vale has had a tough run, scoring only a single goal in their last four matches. Given these stats, betting on under 2.5 goals would likely be the most sensible wager for this tie.

Port Vale team news
Darren Moore arrived at Port Vale as the head coach in February, seen as a potential savior for the club. However, under his leadership, Port Vale only secured two points in eight games. Despite this, it should be acknowledged that the club was dealing with numerous issues in the weeks leading up to his arrival.
Darren Moore spoke a few days ago concerning the absent players in his team. He stated that forward Uche Ikpeazu initiated light training and might be able to make a comeback soon. He also mentioned that full-back Mitch Clark has recovered from an injury and might be considered for the forthcoming match against Burton.
However, the news is less encouraging regarding Manchester United loanee Daniel Gore, who has only participated in one game for Port Vale since his January transfer. Nonetheless, Moore remains hopeful that Gore will recover before the season concludes.
