Bitesize Prediction: Port Vale vs Exeter – 22/03/22

Competition: League Two

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ 888sport

In a matchup that could prove to be an enjoyable affair from League Two on Tuesday night, Port Vale will host Exeter in midweek.

Starting with the hosts, putting in another impressive display over the weekend, Port Vale find themselves enjoying what has been an eye-catching March purple patch. Eventually picking up a 2-1 victory away at Bradford, the Valiants now have their sights set on securing a shock play-off place this season. Opening up Tuesday’s fixtures sat just two points adrift of breaking into the top-seven, the Burslem-based side have now won each of their last three outings on the spin. With their recent surge highlighted by back-to-back 3-1 and 4-1 wins against Mansfield and Crawley, Vale could be smelling the chance to lay down another marker here. Likewise, it should be noted, enjoying a free-scoring run in the final third, Tuesday’s hosts have seen seven of their last eight outings finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, last seen over the weekend claiming a 2-0 win away at Oldham, Exeter appear to be storming their way towards League One this season. Still sat in the automatic promotion spots, Mat Taylor’s men have continued to gain a host of plaudits. With just a single defeat to their name since way back on January 7th, the Grecians have also excelled with their displays in the final third this year. Bagging 54 fourth-tier strikes already, it should be noted that is the second-best attacking tally in the division. Picking up victories away at the likes of Bradford, Swindon and Walsall since opening 2022, neutrals will be hoping for another enjoyable affair on Tuesday night. With six of Exeter’s last seven matchups away from St. James’ Park finishing with over 1.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
