Port Vale and Stockport County Current Form and Standings

Port Vale haven’t had the best start to the season. The newly promoted side currently sit 20th in the table, escaping the relegation zone by just one place and through goal difference. So far, Vale have won just three games, drawn four and lost six of their opening 13. They registered victories against Barnsley, Mansfield and Exeter, with draws against Wimbledon, Northampton, Burton and Cardiff. This puts Darren Moore’s men on 13 points in total, level with Plymouth in 21st and just one point ahead of Burton in 22nd.

Stockport have started the season fairly well, although many would have expected them to be where they are. The Hatters sit fifth in League One after 13 games, after having only lost two games, won seven and drawn four. They have beaten the likes of Huddersfield, Bolton, Wycombe and Exeter, whilst earning a point against teams such as Cardiff, Reading, Wigan and Leyton Orient. However, they did suffer defeats to Plymouth and Bradford which were disappointing. This puts County on 25 points in the third tier, only one point behind Cardiff in top spot.
