The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vale Park was two seasons ago, in November 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Valiants at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Robins come away with an easy victory. Away win
