FA Cup Betting Preview: Chelsea vs Port Vale

World Champions Chelsea host Port Vale, bottom-of-the-table in League One, in this FA Cup quarter-final at Stamford Bridge, with kick-off set for 12:15 on Saturday 4 April.

We are expecting Chelsea to score plenty of goals against Port Vale, with the Asian Handicap -3 offering us the chance to side with the favourites. Betting odds of -108 look like value.

Port Vale lost their previous game. Away from home, they suffered a 4-0 League One defeat against Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park.

In their previous FA Cup engagements, Chelsea claimed a 4-2 extra-time win (2-2 after 90 mins) when visiting Championship side Wrexham, with Port Vale winning 1-0 at home to Sunderland.
