Chelsea will welcome Port Vale to Stamford Bridge as the two sides look to progress into the 2025/26 FA Cup semi-finals.

The hosts have lost all four of their latest matches, a run of games that saw them lose consecutive Premier League matches and get knocked out of the UEFA Champions League.

However, the prospect of their fifth FA Cup semi-final in seven seasons awaits Chelsea, who have been beaten finalists three times since they last won the competition in 2018.

Manager Liam Rosenior’s side will look to end their dismal run of form prior to the international break, as they prepare to face the lowest-ranked side still in the FA Cup at this stage.

Port Vale will travel to West London more in hope than expectation, as they look to continue their fairytale cup run and defeat Premier League opposition in back-to-back rounds.

The third-tier side knocked out Sunderland in their last FA Cup match, but now face an entirely different proposition against Chelsea.

Manager Jon Brady’s side are currently bottom of the League One table, with 52 places separating the two sides in the English footballing pyramid.

What are the best bets for Chelsea vs Port Vale?

Chelsea to win with a -2 handicap, Chelsea to score at least four goals

This is a match that is impossible to bet on, unless you go a little bit rogue, so that is exactly what I am going to do.

Chelsea will win this match. It is just a question of how many goals they will score.

I am taking Chelsea to win with a -2 handicap and for the Blues to score at least four goals in the game.

Chelsea to win to nil

I can’t envisage this bet returning much in the way of a profit, but when two sides meet with such a disparity in quality between them, it is hard to find a profitable bet.

Maybe try adding Chelsea to win to nil into your bet, as I can’t see Port Vale troubling the Blues at all.
