Recent respective form guides

Port Vale need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Valiants have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Burton Albion's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Brewers have hit 7 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Port Vale see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 29 points from their 22 games played so far, Burton Albion's 30 points from 23 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
