We said: Port Vale 2-0 Scunthorpe United
Although they have been in poor form themselves of late, and have struggled at home this season, we expect Port Vale to win relatively comfortably in this one on Saturday.
Scunthorpe are lacking quality and any positives as things stand, so the hosts should have enough in them to see off a poor visiting side.
