AI-Modelled Form (Last 6 Fixtures):

• Port Vale have struggled badly — 1 win and 5 losses in their last 6, conceding 10 goals and winning only against Bolton in what looks an anomalous result. They've been hammered 4-0 by Wycombe, lost to Doncaster, Blackpool, and Bradford, and failed to score in 3 of 6. A side without confidence, without goals, and clearly in crisis. The worst form record in this fixture list.
• Wigan have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in 6 — a solid mid-table shape. Wins over Exeter (2-0), Bradford (2-0), and Plymouth (3-0 away) demonstrate real attacking quality and they can keep a clean sheet too. Losses to Reading and Plymouth bookend a run that is nonetheless impressive in parts. Their 3-0 away win at Plymouth is a standout result and shows they can travel well.
• Port Vale are in freefall with just one win in six and a poor goals-against record. Wigan's recent performances — especially the 3-0 at Plymouth — show a side confident and capable away from home. An away win looks very likely here.
