History of the Port Vale v Wrexham fixture

Port Vale prepare to entertain Wrexham at Vale Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Valiants are clearly on top, having won 18 and lost only 5 of the 30 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Vale Park was just last season, in April 2004, the Valiants carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Two match.
