Northampton vs Port Vale: the head-to-head
Northampton and Port Vale’s recent clashes are a study in balance, with half of their six meetings ending in a stalemate. Since the record began in 2021, the teams have split the six fixtures evenly, each club winning twice and drawing twice. The average total goals per game is a modest 0.83, and only 17% of encounters have produced two or more goals, while no match has seen three or more. Both sides have failed to score in any game where the other has, so the share of matches with both teams scoring is 0%. Northampton have been more successful at home, winning two of the three games played there, whereas all three away fixtures have yielded no victories for them. The most recent encounter on 24 February 2026 saw Port Vale win 0-1, and the next fixture is scheduled for 26 September 2026 in League Two.
