NORTHAMPTON, England (Interstat) — Northampton Town and Port Vale meet Tuesday in a League One fixture with both sides seeking momentum amid inconsistent form.

The match at Sixfields Stadium kicks off at 7:45 p.m. local time.

The teams played to a scoreless draw in their last meeting on Oct. 4 at Vale Park. Port Vale enters with a five-match winless streak in league play (0-3-2), though it earned a 1-1 home draw against Reading last Saturday. Its last victory was a 1-0 result at Leyton Orient on Jan. 31.

Northampton arrives after a 2-1 home loss to Leyton Orient on Saturday, which followed a 4-0 road defeat at Lincoln City. The Cobblers have just one win in their last seven league matches (1-3-3).

Port Vale’s recent struggles are stark, having been outscored 11-1 during a three-game losing streak in early February before the consecutive draws. Northampton’s offense has also sputtered, failing to score in four of its last seven outings.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is a 1-1 draw.

Port Vale (11-12-10) sits 14th in the 24-team League One table. Northampton (9-10-14) is 19th, just four points above the relegation zone.

Key matchup: Port Vale’s defense, which conceded five goals in a December loss to Hfield Town and three in a January defeat to Mansfield, faces a Northampton attack that has been shut out in three of its last five home games. The team that finds a clinical edge likely decides this.

Injury report: Both clubs have not released squad updates ahead of the match.

Up next: Port Vale hosts Luton Town next Saturday in League One. Northampton welcomes Peterborough United to Sixfields on the same day.
