Port Vale vs Wrexham Betting Tips - BTTS

Port Vale will be confident of testing their League One opponents on Tuesday with the hosts enjoying a strong run of form. Placed sixth in League Two with 48 points wracked up from 28 games played, the Valiants are unbeaten in their last five matches, and in 12 of their last 14 at Vale Park.

Darren Moore´s side are usually involved in high-scoring outcomes, particularly in home fixtures. Nine of their last matches saw 12 BTTS while they saw the same outcome when they hosted Wrexham in this competition earlier this season. Vale edged to a shoot victory after a 1:1 draw in the group phase, and a similar result could be on the cards when these sides meet up again this week.

Wrexham make the trip to Staffordshire having failed to hit top gear in recent weeks. Phil Parkinson´s side had gone three without a win before a much-needed 2:1 win at Crawley on Saturday.

Goals can usually be expected when the Dragons are in action. Only one of their ten previous games did not see BTTS. Wrexham also failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine road games, suggesting the lower-league hosts can get on the scoresheet.

Placed third in League Two, Wrexham will have their focus firmly set on a third successive promotion, and that should see the visitors rotate their selection to perhaps level the playing field this week.

While separated by one division, another competitive contest is expected on Tuesday with both teams in good form, and scoring plenty.

In the end, we should see both teams score, with Wrexham perhaps the likelier to edge to victory at Vale Park.
