The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

Our prediction is: Wolverhampton to win the 1st half

While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Wolverhampton vs Port Vale, where we have Wolverhampton to win the first half as our best bet.

Wolverhampton has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Wolverhampton taking an advantage into half-time.

Our prediction is: Both teams to score

The match between Wolverhampton and Port Vale has all the necessary ingredients for plenty of goals. And of course: for both sides - and that's the focus of our bet here.

Therefore, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market is the best recommendation here, as the attacks are working well and, on some occasions, the defenses have been making mistakes.

That's why we're going with BTTS.
