Our Port Vale vs Wigan Prediction
Our prediction for the Port Vale vs. Wigan Athletic League One match is: Wigan wins.
A look at the form for both these teams reveals that over the last three games at least, both have been in great form. However, there is one big thing to note about this fixture and that is it will be Vale's third game in five days. With Jon Brady's team not having the biggest squad in the division, that means they will be a very tired team ahead of this game, while Wigan have had a week of rest. Wigan are the team to back here.
