Wigan Athletic - Port Vale predictions and free betting tips [06/04/2024]

English football — those are the games that one must watch, for they gift their audiences with emotional experiences and vivid memories, and also pique the curiosity of those who aren't really into football. On 6th April, in League 1, England's third-tier division, at D.W Stadium.

Wigan

As a result of financial problems, the team was deducted 8 points, making it an uphill battle for Wigan to reach the top of the league table with such a handicap. Right now, they are in the 12th position.

In their 37th match, they secured a narrow victory over Leyton Orient. In the next match, Wigan succumbed to Wycombe (0:1). After that, the lads won against Blackpool with a score (1:0). Then the team played a draw with Burton (1:1). And in the last tour, the team suffered a defeat from Cambridge with a score (1:3).

Port Vale

I would call this squad a "lift team". The lads don't stay in one championship for long. They consistently alternate between League 2 and League 1. Last year, they stayed in the 3rd division, finishing in the 18th place. The lads have been average this season, resulting in them being 21st with 39 points banked.

In the 36th tour, the lads played a draw against Leyton Orient (0:0). Then they lost on their own ground to Oxford with a score (0:2). However, in the next match they managed to win away against Burton with a tight score. After that they again secured a victory, this time over Bristol Rovers (2:0). But, in the last game, Vale lost to Northampton with a score (0:2).

Head-to-Head

The last face-to-face match between Port Vale and Wigan was on December 16, 2023. That meeting ended with Vale's victory (3:2).

Prediction

In the upcoming match, I'd place my bet on the home team winning. Despite their setbacks, Wigan play really well at home. In the last 5 games they have drawn twice and won thrice. Vale, on the other hand, struggles in away matches, and their position in the league table doesn't bode well.

Total Prediction

I believe, in this confrontation the teams will be able to show productive football, therefore I would suggest placing a bet on 2.5 total over.
