Competition: League Two
Market: Port Vale win
Odds: 4/6 @ BetUS
Hoping to find a route into the automatic promotion spots this weekend, Port Vale will host a struggling Morecambe on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Port Vale might have lost their League One status last season, Darren Moore’s men have their sights firmly set on booking an immediate third-tier return. Making a welcomed return to winning ways last weekend as they secured a routine 3-0 victory against MK Dons, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss will be calling on a repeat performance here. Signing off February with a 2-1 win against Salford, the Valiants have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 13 consecutive League Two appearances. With that purple patch stemming all the way back to December 29th, Moore’s side have certainly hit top gear since opening 2025. In fact, Saturday’s hosts open this weekend’s fixtures sat just two points adrift of finding a route into the automatic promotion places. Gaining a reputation for their continued dominance on home soil, it should also be highlighted that top-three contenders have mustered 16 points from their last six League Two showdowns at Vale Park.
As for the visitors, suffering a major second-half collapse on home soil last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate against Barrow, Morecambe find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. Getting Saturday’s showdown underway sat six points adrift in the drop zone, Derek Adams’ men are already pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender this season. Getting March underway with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Gillingham, the Shrimps have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous six League Two appearances. Facing what looks set to be another heavyweight challenge here, Morecambe have gained a reputation for their glaring issues on the road. Last seen on their travels falling to a 2-1 defeat against MK Dons, the Lancashire-based outfit have remarkably lost all of their previous eight straight showdowns away from the Mazuma Mobile Stadium. Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the League Two standings, we are backing a home victory here.
