Barnet v Port Vale prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.5 goals from Barnet and 0.9 from Port Vale, so Barnet come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Barnet come into this on two straight wins. Port Vale come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Barnet or Draw. This covers Barnet or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 79 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.27, which works out at about 79 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
