Two matches into the new League One season, Port Vale are still seeking their first win. Next up they travel to Burton Albion, looking to add to their single point so far. We have a prediction for the match below.
Hosts Burton head into this game looking to bounce back from their Week 2 defeat at Barnsley. The most disappointing part about the 3-2 loss wasn’t the result but the manner in which they lost.
Burton took to halftime a 2-0 lead but slumped in the second half. By the 63rd minute it was 2-2, and then in stoppage time, the hosts’ pressure yielded the winning goal. Being winless in their last three meetings with Port Vale could be another concern here.
Port Vale will feel positive about this encounter, having avoided defeat in three straight matches against Burton. The newly promoted side has had a tough start to the third tier, but history favors them here.
In the last two competitive matches between these sides, they won. That could be a string to cling to after a loss and a draw in the opening two league games. T
here was some sense of reprieve in their early season engagements, though, with a 1-0 win against Blackpool in the League Cup Round 1.

Our Burton Albion vs Port Vale Prediction
Port Vale may have the head-to-head advantage in recent meetings but come here struggling for form. In their opening two league matches of the season, they are winless, and playing away to Burton Albion may add to their early-season woes.
Burton have done well at home and will head into this game looking to carry on with that. Their loss to Barnsley was a crushing one, and Burton will carry tough lessons back home. Backed by their scoring form, the hosts will be the favorites here. Our prediction for Burton Albion v Port Vale is that Burton Albion wins the match.
