Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Concentration will be required as Port Vale and Barrow go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the sides in defence, making it difficult to predict who will win. The statistics don't supply any clear conclusion in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. It's a prediction which is available at best priced odds of 1.65 with the bookies, so we're making under 2.5 goals our tip of the day on this one.
