Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Darren Moore and Graham Alexander to park the bus here, but we certainly don't expect to see a deluge of goals as Port Vale and Bradford go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.83 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we're recommending.

Goal Statistics

Scoring more than 1 goal looks like a tall order for Port Vale, with D. Moore's men failing to score in 6 consecutive League One matches.

Goals have been an issue for Bradford City of late. It has been 6 League One matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Tuesday evening against Port Vale.
