Since February 2017, Peterborough United have won all six of their league games against Port Vale, keeping a clean sheet in each of those victories.
Port Vale have won just two of their last 20 away league games against Peterborough United (D8 L10), conceding 2+ goals on each of their last five visits to London Road.
Peterborough have won both of their two League One matches played on a Thursday so far this season; prior to 2025-26, they had never won more than once in a row on this day of the week in the Football League.
Having faced Barnsley on Tuesday, Port Vale are the first side in England’s top four tiers to play on both a Tuesday and Thursday in the same week since Manchester United in the Premier League in May 2021 (lost 1-2 to Leicester and 2-4 to Liverpool). The Valiants are the first third tier side to do so since Brentford in January 2002 (lost 0-1 to Northampton, beat Brighton 4-0).
