Port Vale and Bradford City will meet at Vale Park on matchday 40 in League Two. Port Vale are third in the league standings and are three points behind second-placed Bradford City. Here's our match prediction.

After losing 1-0 at home against Barrow, Port Vale immediately bounced back with a hard-fought win against Crewe Alexandra with a similar scoreline.

So far, the  Valiants have won three of their last five league games without conceding a goal. Overall, they have lost just two of their last 16 matches (W8, D6).

The Vale Park was their stronghold putting aside their setback against Barrow. They went nine games without defeat, translating to six wins and three draws. Surely, that will be enough to see them secure their second consecutive league win.

Bradford City was tipped for a comfortable win against Accrington last time out. In a match that saw them manage 0 shots on target from six attempts, this meant that they had no reason to complain after sharing the spoils in a goalless draw.

The Bantams could have moved to the top if they had won. Heading into this clash, they are unbeaten in two games (W1). This comes after losing two straight.

Away from home, they are winless in two matches, both of which they failed to score. The lack of creativity in the final third could be their undoing here.

Our Port Vale vs Bradford City FC Prediction

Both sides will be aiming to snatch points from each other in a bid to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive, and hopefully, secure the top spot given league leaders Walsall's floundering performance of late.

Port Vale have got the better of Bradford City, winning three of the last six encounters (D2, L1). The bookmakers have no clear favourites for this anticipated top-table clash. Considering Bradford boasts the third-best defensive record in the league, we see them limiting their opponents' scoring opportunities in what will be a low-scoring affair. Our Port Vale v Bradford City prediction: under 2.5.
