Port Vale play host to Barrow on Saturday afternoon sitting just one point adrift of second position in the League Two table.
Meanwhile, the sustained poor form of the visitors has led to them dropping down to the mid-table spots, 12 points adrift of the playoffs.
We say: Port Vale 1-1 Barrow
On the back of edging out Doncaster last time out, Port Vale are on a high, a rarity after recent matches. However, we feel that they may struggle to get over the line here, leading us to back a low-scoring draw with a Barrow outfit who ideally require three points.

Carlisle United square off against MK Dons on Saturday afternoon looking for the win that would move them off the bottom of the League Two table.
Meanwhile, MK Dons make the long trip North requiring a victory to remain within touching distance of the playoff positions.
We say: Carlisle United 1-2 MK Dons
Given MK Dons’ poor run of form, Carlisle will be optimistic of earning at least a share of the spoils. However, we feel that the visitors will do enough to scrape maximum points here, even if it is in a war of attrition.
