Match description
Wigan sits higher in the table (13th vs 22nd Port Vale) and has scored 49 goals this season compared to the hosts’ 33; in the last 5 matches the visitors have scored 8 goals while Port Vale managed only 4. In their last 5 fixtures Wigan’s record is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, collecting an average of 2.0 points per game, whereas Port Vale have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses with 1.4 points per game. Port Vale’s home defence is a plus — conceding 1.1 goals per game at home and a home xG of 1.37 versus Wigan’s away xG of 1.13 and 1.9 goals conceded on the road; however Port Vale have shipped 12 goals in their last 5 matches (2.4 per game) compared to Wigan’s 5 (1.0 per game). The difference is conversion — Wigan converts about 13% of shots versus 7% for Port Vale, and the hosts have failed to score in 52% of home games compared to 24% of Wigan’s away matches, which increases the visitors’ chances of winning. Considering the superior goals scored (49 vs 33), better form and efficiency, I tip a Wigan win, with estimated probabilities: Port Vale 20%, Draw 30%, Visitors 50%.
