Port Vale will attempt to end their five-game winless run when they welcome Oxford United to Vale Park for Monday’s League One contest. Relegation-threatened Oxford are also desperate to claim all three points after failing to win any of their last 13 matches Port Vale boss Darrell Clarke will have to pick his players up for Monday’s contest after they were heavily beaten by Accrington Stanley on Friday.
The Valiants were swept aside by a 3-0 scoreline, ensuring they have now conceded at least two goals in each of their last four games. Having picked up just two points from their previous five matches, Port Vale are languishing in 17th place and are at risk of being dragged into a relegation battle in the closing stages of the campaign. As it stands, they still boast a healthy seven-point cushion to the bottom four, but they will be looking to mathematically secure their League One status sooner rather than later.
Ahead of Monday’s fixture, the hosts can take confidence from the fact that they are unbeaten in their previous four competitive home meetings with Oxford. The U’s, meanwhile, are in real danger of being relegated after picking up just four points from their last 13 matches. Oxford have at least shown some signs of improvement since Liam Manning was appointed head coach, having played out three consecutive draws under the new manager. In their most recent outing against promotion-chasing Sheffield Wednesday, Cameron Brannagan dispatched a 70th-minute penalty to cancel out Barry Bannan’s opener, ensuring the home encounter ended in a 1-1 draw.
