Starting with the hosts, despite their dramatic defeat over the weekend, Port Vale still have a play-off charge at the top of their agenda. In their 11 fourth-tier contests so far this season, they have recorded six wins, one draw and four defeats, scoring 15 and conceding 11 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 19, they open the midweek fixtures sat eighth in the League Two table and with just their goal difference stopping them from breaking into the play-off positions. As for their recent run of results, Port Vale have managed to collect nine points from their four previous League Two contests. It should also be noted that Tuesday’s hosts have won four of their last six matchups across all competitions.

As for the visitors, while Scunthorpe might have managed to pick up a crucial victory last time out, they are in the midst of a real relegation battle. In their nine League Two matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a pair of wins, one draw and six defeats, scoring six and conceding 17 in return. Collecting a points tally of seven out of a possible 27 and still sat one-point adrift of safety, it should also be noted that no side in the division holds a worse attacking record. As for their recent run of results, despite their win away at Oldham over the weekend, Scunthorpe have lost seven of their other eight matchups across all formats. Suffering a 2-1 defeat when they traveled to Port Vale last season, we’re backing another home victory on Tuesday night.
