Can The Underdogs Triumph Again?
Key Stats
– Sutton United have managed to secure just four points from their first nine League Two games.
– Ethan Chislett, with an impressive BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.30, is Port Vale’s top-performing midfielder this season.
The third-round tie of the EFL Cup sees an interesting clash as Port Vale, a League One side, welcomes Sutton United from the fourth tier to Vale Park. This is a significant game for both teams, with Port Vale making their first appearance at this stage since the 2009-10 season. Sutton United, on the other hand, are enjoying an unprecedented run in the competition, making it a contest to watch.
Port Vale: A Resurgent Force
The Valiants have begun their consecutive League One season impressively. With 17 points from nine games, they sit comfortably in the fourth position. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw against Cambridge United, a match that saw a dramatic end. Goalkeeper Connor Ripley turned hero, thwarting Fejiri Okenabirhie’s 90th-minute penalty to salvage a draw.

The team’s form showcases their resilience. Port Vale have tasted defeat only once in their last 11 competitive matches, showing consistency in both the league and the EFL Cup. Their path in the Cup was carved out by victories against Fleetwood Town and a tense penalty shootout win over Crewe Alexandra. Drawing inspiration from their only competitive home win against Sutton in March 2022, they are eyeing the last-16, a stage they haven’t reached since 2006-07.
Sutton United: Seeking Consolation in the Cup
The start to Sutton’s League Two season has been less than ideal. They are currently languishing at the bottom, having managed a mere four points from nine games. However, it’s not all gloom for them. The EFL Cup has been their silver lining. They’ve overcome Cambridge United and secured a commendable 1-0 victory against Wycombe Wanderers. Now, they are looking to continue their giant-killing spree and aim for the round of 16.
Their league journey began promisingly with a 5-1 demolition of Notts County but was followed by a series of setbacks, losing seven straight matches. The recent 1-1 draw against MK Dons, thanks to a goal from defender Omar Sowunmi, might just be the spark they need to rejuvenate their campaign.
Team News and Lineups
For Port Vale, Tom Conlon remains absent, and there are uncertainties surrounding Ryan Loft and Joshua Thomas. Lewis Cass, who’s made substitute appearances recently, might be seen in the starting eleven. Thomas Sang, after his halftime introduction against Cambridge, is another contender for the starting lineup.
Sutton, facing injury woes, will miss Scott Kashket due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Despite the draw against MK Dons, manager Matt Gray may opt for the same lineup, hoping for consistency.
Predictions
1. Match Outcome Prediction
Given the form and historical data, it seems logical to predict a Port Vale win. They’ve shown resilience and have lost only one of their last 11 competitive fixtures. Moreover, Sutton’s recent form in the league, especially their inability to build on their early victories, makes Port Vale the favourites.
2. Correct Score Prediction
Considering Port Vale’s attacking statistics and Sutton’s defensive record, a 2-1 victory for Port Vale seems plausible.
3. Goalscorer Prediction
Given his recent form and BettingTips4You rating of 7.30, Ethan Chislett, the midfielder for Port Vale, is a likely candidate to find the back of the net.
