Match Analysis

Port Vale host Sunderland in the FA Cup at Vale Park. Port Vale have been strong at home in the cup, with four straight wins and three clean sheets, but their recent overall form is mixed. Sunderland are a division above but have struggled for goals recently and have only one win in their last five. The H2H history is in Sunderland's favor, but current form and home advantage suggest a tight, low-scoring contest with Port Vale capable of holding their own.

Key Factors

  • Port Vale have a 100% home win record in the FA Cup this season with three clean sheets.
  • Sunderland's last five matches average just 0.8 goals scored and 1 conceded per game.
  • Both teams have a high percentage of under 2.5 goal games in the cup this season.
  • Sunderland have won all previous H2H meetings, but the last was in 2021.
