Best Tip: Bolton to win

As the stadium fills and the Bolton players ready themselves for this fixture, the bookies are predicting a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we take advantage of in our predictive algorithms. The Macron Stadium has rarely been an easy place to go for Port Vale in the past, and we expect more of the same come Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
