On Feb 14th, Port Vale hosts Barnsley in a clash of these two mismatched League One teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, 14th placed Port Vale, recorded a 2-3 loss against Shrewsbury Town. Dennis Politic struck first for Port Vale in the 13th minute on a feed from Samson Robinson, then Cheyenne Dunkley tied it up for Shrewsbury Town in the 27th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 33rd minute on a goal by Luke Leahy. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while 6th placed Barnsley is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Cambridge United. Max Watters struck first for Barnsley in the 8th minute, then Jordan Williams added another in the 64th minute In the end, Cambridge United was frustrated by Barnsley’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Barnsley ended the match with the shutout victory. Barnsley should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches.
Port Vale and Barnsley last played eachother at the Oakwell Stadium on Tuesday Sep 13th. Barnsley and Port Vale battled to a 1-1 draw. Liam Kitching struck first for Barnsley in the 43rd minute on a feed from Jordan Williams, then Ellis Harrison tied it up for Port Vale in the 83rd minute on a feed from Gavin Massey earning Port Vale a comeback draw.
Barnsley is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with B. Thomas and Jordan Williams each having 2 goals in their last 5. Funso Ojo and David Worrall are the top scorers for Port Vale in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
