Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting there's minimal chance that this match will have 4+ goals, and the odds and stats are in line with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Port Vale and Walsall have seldom served up goal-fests of late, whether that be in League Two individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a strong favourite WDW or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. The UK's top bookies have that available at a best price of 1.33.
