Relegation Battle: Vale Host Burton Albion
7 Feb
Summary
- Burton Albion dropped into relegation zone on goal difference.
- Port Vale are 10 points from safety after recent loss.
- Burton Albion won their last three visits to Vale Park.

A vital League One basement battle is set to take place as bottom side Port Vale welcome Burton Albion to Burslem. Burton Albion's recent dismal form, securing only one point from a possible twelve, has seen them slip into the relegation zone on goal difference. This jeopardizes their nine-year tenure in the third tier of English football.
However, recent history offers some comfort for Burton supporters. Their side has emerged victorious on each of their last three away matches at Vale Park, dating back to 2016. Meanwhile, Port Vale secured three points last Saturday against Leyton Orient, ending an eleven-game winless run on Saturdays. Despite this, a midweek 1-0 home defeat by AFC Wimbledon means they remain ten points adrift from safety.
