Our forecast for this FA Cup game:

Stevenage

Stevenage

Port Vale

Port Vale

The upcoming match at Broadhall Way will see Stevenage and Port Vale, two League One teams, facing off in the FA Cup on Saturday. In their last League One game against Peterborough, Stevenage tied 2-2 and are currently in the running for automatic promotion. However, they also have high hopes for the 2023/2024 FA Cup season. The home team has no new injuries to worry about before their game against Port Vale.

Unfortunately, the Valiants have experienced a decline in performance, only earning one point in the last five league games. As Stevenage has solidified their home field advantage, we anticipate the visitors will leave Burslem empty-handed. In their previous meeting during the 2016 FA Cup, Port Vale emerged victorious with a score of 1-0 over Stevenage, leading the hosts to seek retribution.

The game will take place on 02/12/2023 at 4:00 PM.

Prediction:
2-0

Following his two-goal performance in 31 games for the Royals in the league, the English soccer player went on to spend multiple seasons on loan at clubs such as Aldershot Town, Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town, Leyton Orient, and Motherwell. In 2016, Jake Taylor made a permanent return to Exeter City by signing a deal with the St James Park team.

Despite being born in Ascot, England, on December 1, 1991, Taylor represents Wales on the international stage.

Team in the spotlight (Port Vale):

Port Vale

Port Vale, known as the Valiants, is a professional team in League Two. They host their opponents at Vale Park and wear white and black uniforms for home games. Their away kit features yellow as the predominant color.

The Valiants’ stadium, constructed in 1950, has a maximum capacity of 49,768 individuals. Stoke City, a team in the Championship league, is considered a strong rival for the club, but their competition is relatively friendly. The two teams initially faced each other on December 2, 1882, with the Potters coming out victorious (1-0).

The Valiants maintain a rivalry with fellow League 2 club Crewe Alexandra as well. Speaking of the club’s titles, it has to be noted that Port Vale have won Football League Trophy on two occasions (1993, 2001). A 9-1 win over Chesterfield from September 24, 1932 is the club’s biggest triumph.
