York – Port Vale

Match analysis

York host a struggling Port Vale, looking to consolidate their third‑place standing with 11 points from three wins, two draws and a single loss, and a healthy 13‑8 goal difference. Vale sit second from bottom on five points after just one victory, two stalemates and three defeats, having scored only three times while conceding seven. The gap between the sides is stark, with York already three places and six points clear of the visitors, and their recent form suggests they will aim to extend the lead. Historically, the two clubs have not met often this season, but the current table disparity hints at a comfortable night for the home side.
