Port Vale vs Rotherham Prediction: Martha to make Millers merry

It's now or never for Port Vale and Rotherham United as they meet in a must-win League One relegation showdown at Vale Park on Tuesday (19:45, live on Sky Sports+).

Steve Davies provides his Port Vale vs Rotherham predictions, supported by all the latest team news and match odds.

Port Vale vs Rotherham Odds

Port Vale are 7/5 to win a game they dare not lose, with Rotherham a 15/8 chance. The draw is 12/5.

Scoring goals is a real problem for these two sides so under 2.5 goals - 8/11 - and both teams not to score - 10/11 - could prove popular.

Team News

Left wing-back Jaheim Headley missed Vale's 7-0 drubbing at Chelsea at the weekend with a muscle strain which may well see him sidelined once again.

Three-goal Jayden Stockley is hoping for his first start in six weeks after a knock, while Ben Heneghan remains sidelined.

Key midfielder Dan Gore is suspended for Rotherham after being shown a red in Friday's 0-0 draw with Stevenage and Josh Benson may well replace him. Centre-back Lenny Agbaire and striker Sam Nombe are doubts.

Port Vale over 5.5 corners @ 11/10

These are two clubs in terrible form, Vale having lost four of their last six in League One and failed to score in five of those games.

Rotherham have also been unable to score in five of their last six and won none of those games

The Valiants are as good as down; Millers' fans have given up on their side as well. This is a bleak affair with a last-chance saloon look about it.

And if it is that desperate then expect both clubs to be positive; draws are useless now.

Vale, despite being battered at Chelsea, have to be buoyed by their FA Cup run and they still managed to unload a trio of shots and win a couple of corners at Stamford Bridge.

They actually win an average of nearly six corners per home game and are worth backing to win six as a minimum in a game they simply cannot afford to lose.

Ar'jany Martha to score anytime @ 10/3

Rotherham's 0-0 home draw with Stevenage on Friday was another nail in the coffin for the Millers, so they need to be positive at Vale Park

The Millers are running out of time to save their skins and there was little to encourage Lee Clark as they toiled to break down Borough.

The one glimmer of light in an otherwise poor performance was the display of World Cup-bound winger Ar'Jany Martha off the bench.

The Curacao ace looked a real threat and, with the visitors needing to be positive, it's hard to imagine Martha not starting.

He has scored twice for his country this season, once for his club and does flatter to deceive. Now is the time for him to deliver against a Valiants defence which has conceded far too many goals recently.
