OracleWonThe pickUnder 2.5
There is a kind of football that does not announce itself. It does not roar from the stands or flash across the headlines. It simply sits in the middle of the pitch, patient as stone, and lets the minutes pass like water over a riverbed. I have watched this game for a very long…

Right, so Port Vale are hosting Chesterfield at their ground on 17 October, and I'm telling you, this one's got a nice little under 2.5 angle to it if you sit down and look at the numbers properly. Port Vale have been keeping it tight at home. Their last two home games were 1-0…
