David faces Goliath at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host League One side Port Vale in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Given the huge gap in quality between the two teams, we predict a 3-0 home win. The Blues have struggled at home recently, winning 0 of their last 4 home matches, scoring just 0.75 goals per game while conceding 1.75 on average. Overall, Chelsea have averaged 1.8 goals scored and 2.0 conceded over their last 10 matches, with a clean sheet rate of only 10%. Liam Rosenior will recall Estevao and Andrey Santos to the starting XI after coming off the bench in a 3-0 Premier League loss to Everton.
Port Vale travel to London in confident mood after a shock 1-0 FA Cup win over Sunderland. The Valiants have won 50% of their home matches, conceding only 0.5 goals per game at home, while scoring 0.67 on average. Over the last 10 matches, they have a 40% win rate with 50% clean sheets, highlighting their defensive discipline. Defender Jaheim Headley is doubtful for the visiting side after picking up a knock in a 4-0 League One loss to Wycombe.
Given Chelsea's superior quality and squad depth, punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside Chelsea to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (tight defensive setup from Port Vale).
This FA Cup match will be played on Saturday 4 April 2026 at 17:15.
