Port Vale vs Sunderland Predictions
Port Vale are bottom of League One, 10 points deep into the relegation zone and haven’t been in great form. Sunderland are mid-table in the Premier League with an outside shot at European qualification, so they should have the beating of Port Vale.

Head-to-Head
Sunderland have won their last six matches against Port Vale.
Port Vale Form
Port Vale ended a six-match winless streak (D3, L3) by beating Bristol City 1-0 in the previous round of the FA Cup.
After claiming back-to-back wins against Blackpool (5-1) and Fleetwood (1-0) at home, Port Vale lost three of their next four home matches, followed by a pair of draws.
In their last home match (the fourth round of the FA Cup) they took Bristol City to extra-time before claiming a 112th-minute winner to win 1-0.
Sunderland Form
Sunderland lost three of four matches in a row in February, but bounced back by drawing with Bournemouth 1-1 at home and beating Leeds 1-0 on the road.
Their away form has been decent, winning two and drawing one of their last three games, but they have gone goalless in four of their games, scoring just a single goal in five of their other games.
Port Vale vs Sunderland Team News & Squads
In an interview with BBC Radio Stoke, Port Vale striker Andre Gray said he anticipated that their opponents in Sunday's FA Cup fifth round tie - Premier League side Sunderland - are unlikely to enjoy the experience of playing at their League One opposition.
"They're not going to enjoy being here and playing against a League One team. We've got to use that to our advantage," said Gray, who played for Watford in the 2019 FA Cup final.
"I've been there and done it but it's still a big occasion and you want to play as high a level as you can for as long as you can. It's a completely different level. You think you're strong, you think you're fast, you think you're smart - and then you come up against these top teams.
"But the reason we love the game is for giant killings and it's possible. I've been in both situations before. The atmosphere in the dressing room has been good and we've got to take it day by day with the amount of games we've had,” added Gray.
Port Vale (predicted XI): Gauci, Magloire, Humphreys, Hall, Lawrence-Gabriel, Walters, Shipley, Gordon, Archer, Sherif, Waine.
Sunderland (predicted XI): Roefs, Hume, Mukiele, O'Nien, Cirkin, Geertruida, Diarra, Talbi, Le Fee, Mundle, Isidor.
Verdict
I am backing Sunderland to win, but I am also backing Port Vale to score.
