Port Vale vs Wrexham Betting Tips: WREXHAM TO WIN

Interestingly, the two teams will clash again in the competition, having already faced each other earlier this season in the group stage, where Port Vale triumphed via penalties, but they trailed behind Wrexham due to an inferior goal difference.

After their pursuit of an automatic promotion spot hit a long standstill with eight straight matches without a win (D5 L3), the Valiants have finally found their winning form as they surged to a surprise 2-1 victory over Doncaster on the road.

Despite the advantage of playing at home, Darren Moore's squad has not given their supporters much to cheer about lately, as they have failed to beat anyone in their last six consecutive home matches, and they have gone goalless in their most recent three at Vale Park.

Wrexham, meanwhile, competes in League One - one level above Port Vale - and are among the main favorites for promotion to the Championship next season, currently crouching in 3rd with the same points as Wycombe, who holds the final direct promotion spot to the higher tier.

Compared to Tuesday's hosts, who are off rhythm, the Red Dragons have shown a much more convincing form, having claimed victory in eight of their last 11 competitive battles, including a one-goal triumph over Crewe in the first elimination round of the EFL Trophy.

However, it's undenible that Wrexham have proved to be poor travelers this season, but they also possess a stronger squad on paper, where they should approach the new clash with Port Vale much sharper and more aggresive, which could allow them to avenge their group-stage defeat and make their way into the EFL Trophy quarterfinals.
