Over 0.5 Stockport Goals

Records are there to be broken, and sometimes that can be a curse for a selection like this, but ultimately you’ve got to play the percentages. Stockport have scored a goal in every single league match they’ve played this season, it’s a very impressive feat. 

Port Vale have endured a rotten time on home soil this season, picking up five points from six games. Vale have picked up two clean sheets over that period, but that’s been somewhat negated by conceding seven goals across the other four matches. 

Stockport come into this encounter full of confidence, they are now unbeaten in six games, winning four of them. With confidence at such a high, they will be looking to take the game to their opposition and be progressive in their approach. 

Port Vale are showing an ability to be competitive across a large sample of matches, but they are continually plagued by an inability to pick up positive results. Losing to Stevenage after leading 1-0 into the 88th minute was a perfect example of this.

Port Vale Over 3.5 Corners

Port Vale are averaging 5.16 corners in home matches this season, the only time they went under 3.5 was their last home match against Northampton. Despite their lowly league position, Port Vale have no issue imposing themselves upon matches, they often have good spells in games and create good quality openings.

Pairing Port Vale corners with a Stockport goal is a logical angle, if Vale are chasing the game it’ll be far more conducive to getting corners and putting their opposition under pressure. 

Stockport are conceding an average of 5.83 corners per away game, it’s a pretty hefty number. These numbers are not a surprise given their positive results this season, they often lead in games and this means soaking up large spells of pressure in the latter parts of the match.

📈 Port Vale v Stockport Form & Stats

The statistical anomaly that surrounds Port Vale is fascinating, it should provide the motivation to escape the mess they’re currently in. Football is about being decisive in the key moments at both ends of the pitch, and Port Vale have endured a torrid time. The xG stats exemplify this phenomenon.

Port Vale currently sit 1st in the xG table, despite occupying 19th spot in the league. Remarkably enough, their xPTS are 23.60, a whole 10.60 points higher than they have now. Vale’s biggest issue has been wasting good quality chances, their xGF is 18.6, in spite of that, they have only scored 11 goals. Averages will surely play out in their favour soon. 

Dave Challinor is a superb manager and possibly Stockport’s greatest asset, he’s moulded them into a very robust side at this level. Stockport are enjoying a fine run of form, unbeaten in six league games, winning four of them. Their overall record reads seven wins, four draws, and two defeats. 

The underlying data generally justifies their current positioning in the league, although there has been a slight overperformance relative to their xGA and xPTS.
