Port Vale have lost their last two league games against Derby County – including a 1-0 loss earlier this season - though did record a 2-1 win the last time the two sides met at Pride Park in October 2022.
Derby County have lost just two of their last 15 home League One games (W9 D4), scoring at least one goal in all but one of those matches.
Port Vale have lost each of their last four away league games, conceding 2+ goals in each of those matches.
