Both York and Port Vale have modest goal-scoring records, with York averaging 1.2 goals and Port Vale 0.8 per game. BTTS rates are moderate, but the focus here is on set-piece generation rather than goals. The low over 2.5 goals rates imply a tighter defensive match, which often leads to more corners as teams probe wide areas to create chances.
