Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Port Vale and Grimsby will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Jon Brady or David Artell has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.29 equating to approximately a 75% probability.
