- Competition: League Two
- Date: Tuesday, 25th March 2025
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
- Venue: Vale Park (Stoke on Trent)
Port Vale have a chance to return to League One after only one year in the fourth level of English football. They are currently fourth on the table, but with one game fewer than the third AFC Wimbledon, so Port Vale will have a good chance to jump into the promotion playoff spot already on Tuesday night. Port Vale are in good form, with only one defeat in the last nine matches. In the previous game, Darren Moore's team won 1-0 at home against Morecambe. Port Vale didn't dominate, but they still squeezed points from another tough match.
Barrow are, what is the most important for them, safe from relegation. With nine more matches, they are at a safe 15-point distance from the drop zone. What gives optimism even more is that Barrow raised their form significantly, as they are without a defeat in the last four matches. In the previous game, Barrow played 2-2 on the road against AFC Wimbledon. The guests were the underdog, but they were even with the home side in every aspect of the game and certainly deserved at least one point.
Port Vale vs Barrow pick: Over 2.5 goals
Both teams are solid in the attack. Port Vale scored four goals in the last two matches, while Barrow scored eight goals in the previous four games. We should expect three or more goals in the upcoming tie at Vale Park.

Barrow team news
Barrow will be without Samuel Barnes and Theo Vassell on Tuesday against Port Vale. Also, Katia Kouyate is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
