Match Facts
Bristol Rovers have only lost five of 31 previous home games against Port Vale in the Football League (W18 D8), although three of those have come in their last seven such meetings (W4).
After their 2-0 win in April last season, Port Vale are looking to earn back-to-back Football League victories over Bristol Rovers for the first time since November 2012 (run of 3).
After their 4-1 win over Wigan in September, Bristol Rovers could pick up back-to-back home league victories for the first time since December 2022 – the second of which was against Port Vale.
Since losing their season opener 7-0 at Barnsley, Port Vale are unbeaten in four away league games (W2 D2), last going five without a league defeat on their travels in April 2022.
