Peterborough United host Port Vale in a rare Thursday night match at the Weston Homes Stadium. Luke Williams' Posh will be hoping to take advantage of the fact that Jon Brady's Valiants were only in action on Tuesday night, as Vale seek to catch up on the games missed due to their run in the FA Cup this season. Peterborough also have games in hand as they seek to avoid relegation, so what will our prediction be for this key match?
Coming into this game, both sides have relegation concerns, but Peterborough's are far less pressing than their opponents'. The Posh lie 16th in the table with 51 points but have played just 41 games, two fewer than most of the teams around them. They are four clear of the relegation spots. Port Vale, however, lie 23rd with just 35 points from 40 games and are a massive 15 points from safety.
Peterborough's recent form isn't the best. Since a 5-0 win over Rotherham at home, the Posh have failed to win any of their next four, drawing 1-1 at AFC Wimbledon, losing 2-1 at Luton, drawing 1-1 at home to Cardiff City and then last weekend losing 3-1 away at Blackpool.
Port Vale's recent form includes two heavy defeats, a 4-0 thrashing at Wycombe and then a 7-0 hammering by Chelsea in the FA Cup Quarter Finals at Stamford Bridge. However, they followed that with a 1-0 league win over Rotherham and, on Tuesday, held Barnsley 0-0 at home.

Our Peterborough vs Port Vale Prediction
Our prediction for the Peterborough United vs. Port Vale League One match is: Peterborough wins.
Neither of these teams comes into this game in particularly good form, but the data suggests a better bet. Peterborough's home form is generally good, and Port Vale have struggled on the road and score very few goals. They also played Tuesday night and have an appalling recent record against the Posh. Combine all those factors and the bet to back here is a Peterborough United win.
