Chelsea vs Port Vale Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 4th April 2026

Port Vale go up against Chelsea this coming Saturday for a FA Cup meeting at Stamford Bridge.

The match this coming Saturday has all the makings of a tight battle as Chelsea and Port Vale look to bag a crucial win in the process.

Before their upcoming match in the FA Cup, Chelsea are performing absolutely brilliant, when it comes to goal scoring. In the past ten outings, they performed a formidable average of 2.9 goals per game. An awe-inspiring total of 29 goals. They let 11 goals slip in, which creates an average of 1.1 per game. During this run they fought their way to three clean sheets.

When it comes to goal-scoring Port Vale are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 16 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.6 goals per game. They conceded eight goals for an average of 0.8 a game, achieving a clean sheet in six of these matches.

This is the first time Chelsea squares up against Port Vale in the FA Cup in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.

Chelsea vs Port Vale Prediction

Chelsea Form

Chelsea have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 0-1 by Newcastle, before Paris Saint-Germain ran out 0-3 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Everton, who came out 3-0 winners. Chelsea won four of their last six FA Cup matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded ten and scored 21 goals.

Port Vale Form

Port Vale have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Bolton by 1-0. Disappointment followed, going down 1-0 against Doncaster, and 4-0 against Wycombe. Port Vale won four times in their last six away games in the FA Cup, in which they drew once and lost once. They conceded seven goals while scoring ten themselves.

We'd be flabbergasted to see Chelsea waste away a win against Port Vale, who could be in for a battering, the way goals have been flowing lately.
