After contrasting starts to the season, Port Vale and Cardiff City will go head-to-head seeking three points in League One. This will be a round two encounter, which finds hosts Port Vale 14th and Cardiff seventh. We have a prediction for the match below.
Port Vale will be looking to rise from their opening 2-1 loss to Rotherham, a game that they played with 10 men for the better part. Jaheim Headley was sent off in the first half of the match; by then Port Vale trailing 2-0.
There were plaudits for their defensive display, but three points would have mattered more. The last time they hosted a league match here, it was in League Two, and they have six wins in the last 10 home matches.
While Port Vale came from League Two, Cardiff dropped from the Championship, and this convergence will be interesting. The Bluebirds have just one win in their last 10 away matches across all competitions.
They, however, had a good start to the season, beating Peterborough 2-1 at home on the opening weekend. It wasn’t a straightforward win, though, as they had to come from behind to win.
If there’s a leaf to borrow, it’ll have to be their second-half performance. A good show right after halftime saw Cardiff take the lead just on the hour mark and then defended it well.

Our Port Vale vs Cardiff Prediction
Cardiff City showed some instability in their opening game even though they did superbly to recover and win. They will want to tap on that confidence coming into this game, but their away run is quite uninspiring. This is where Port Vale will want to take advantage.
They return home for round two and are hoping to cash in on that. Six times in their last 10 competitive matches they won. However, they don’t have many clean sheets to parade. Our prediction for Port Vale v Cardiff City is for Port Vale to win and both teams to score.
