Port Vale vs Middlesbrough Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Kennedy Kechula | in Carabao Cup Predictions
Port Vale will host Middlesbrough on Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the League Cup. The hosts defeated Mansfield Town to advance to this round while Middlesbrough got the better of Exeter City. This will be the first meeting between these two teams in 25 years. Port Vale are preparing to play in this stage of the League Cup for the first time in their history. Andy Crosby’s men secured this historic feat thanks to a 1-0 success away to Mansfield in the last round. The Vale are the only team left in the competition who play outside the top two English leagues. Three of Port Vale’s four matches in the League Cup have been played at home. Tuesday’s hosts have however stuttered in their most recent games and have won only twice in seven outings. They defeated Wigan 3-2 at home over the weekend in League One.
Middlesbrough have been away in every single round of this season’s competition. Three of their four matches have been against lower-league opposition. Michael Carrick’s men saw off League One side Exeter in a five-goal thriller in the fourth round. Middlesbrough are among the last eight for the first time since the 2018/19 season. Winners of the competition in 2004, Boro haven’t since that success gone past the quarterfinals. The North Yorkshire-based side have also been struggling with a lack of consistency. In their last 10 games, they have lost five times. Middlesbrough got back to winning ways last time out by defeating Swansea 2-1 away from home in the Championship. The win ended a three-game losing run.
