Port Vale vs Exeter City Prediction (24.01.2026)

Port Vale continue to sink to the bottom of the standings, having only four wins out of a total of 24 championship matches played so far. Their difficulties are mainly visible in the offensive aspect, where they rarely find their way to the opponent's goal. One of their few positive moments this season is indeed the success against the upcoming opponent, which at least gives a hint that they can be competitive.

Exeter is in the middle of the table and enters this match with an improved streak. In their last four championship matches, they recorded three wins without conceding a goal and one draw, which clearly indicates stability in defense and a more controlled style. This form suggests that the visitors prefer to close out matches rather than turning them into open shootouts.

Given Port Vale's difficulties in attack and Exeter's stable but cautious approach in recent rounds, my expectations are for a match with a limited number of chances. All of this leads me to a scenario where the goals will remain below the 2.5 mark.
