Port Vale prepare to entertain Wycombe Wanderers at Vale Park on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Valiants.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vale Park was less than a year ago, in April 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
