Port Vale vs Newcastle U21
In the middle of this week Vale Park will hold the third week of the Johnstone Paint Trophy between Port Vale vs. Newcastle Utd Academy. The host is aiming for maximum results in order to maintain the top of Group D, as well as unbeaten trends since last month.
At present they are already there with 6 points. The amount was received after fighting Shrewsbury (2-1) and Macclesfield (2-3). Saturday (9/11) they also just passed the first round of the FA Cup against MK Dons. In fact, they acted as a guest team in this match, but managed to beat the host through a single goal by David Worrall (20 ‘).
More than that, the weekend visit also added to the unbeaten record since last month, now it has been 5 games in a row with 3 wins and 3 clean sheets. It will be difficult to stem this trend, especially if Newcastle Utd Academy has performed so poorly so far after being defeated by Macclesfield (2-1) and Shrewsbury (3-0). So, they are also still looking for the first points in tomorrow’s match.
Port Vale’s position is not entirely safe with a difference of three points from the two participants below. Tomorrow’s match will also be the second meeting against Newcastle Utd Academy after two years ago meeting in the first round and winning with a single goal. The same result is predicted to be enough for the hosts, especially three days later they must return to League 2 to fight Carlisle.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.55
