Port Vale vs Middlesbrough Preview & Prediction
The Carabao Cup‘s two lowest ranked remaining sides face off in the quarter finals on Tuesday evening, as Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough travel to Stoke-on-Trent to take on League One side Port Vale.
Both sides advanced to this stage of the competition via narrow victories in the last-16, with Tuesday night’s hosts overcoming League Two high-flyers Mansfield 1-0, while their Championship opposition edged out Exeter City 3-2.
The pair head into this one off the back of wins in the league, with the Vale enjoying a two-game winning streak in the third tier with triumphs over Wigan and Exeter, meanwhile Boro ended a run of three successive defeats with a 2-1 win away at Swansea on Saturday afternoon.
Port Vale and Middlesbrough will undoubtedly be ecstatic just to have reached this stage of the competition, however they won’t want their story to end on just yet – especially with the prospect of facing the likes Liverpool, Chelsea or Newcastle in the next round.
We at SportsLens are anticipating a closely-battled affair at Vale Park for this one, but are backing the higher-ranked visitors to edge the clash despite the expectation of a spirited performance from the hosts.
Prediction: Port Vale 0-2 Middlesbrough

Port Vale vs Middlesbrough Betting Tips
- Middlesbrough Half Time/Full Time @ 15/8
- Emmanuel Latte Lath To Score Anytime @ 7/4
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 4/1
Port Vale vs Middlesbrough Betting Tip 1: Middlesbrough Half Time/Full Time @ 15/8
Our first tip for your Tuesday night Port Vale vs Middlesbrough Carabao Cup quarter final bet builder is to back the visitors to lead at both half time and full time, priced by leading UK betting sites at 15/8.
Boro led at both half time and full time during Saturday’s narrow 2-1 win over Swansea, and while Port Vale have won their last two league matches – they haven’t been in great form this season. Those two wins are the Vale’s only two across their last seven matches, as they sit 15th in the third tier table.
We at SportsLens expect that the visitors’ second tier squad will prove to be too much for the hosts, and anticipate at least one goal in each half for Carrick’s men.
Port Vale vs Middlesbrough Betting Tip 2: Emmanuel Latte Lath To Score Anytime @ 7/4
Ivorian striker Emmanuel Latte Lath has been in great form for Middlesbrough since the turn of December, boasting three goals from five Championship appearances thus far in the month.
The 24-year-old bagged an impressive brace against high-flying Leeds United to open the action in the final month of the year, and followed that up by bagging Boro’s sole goal in the defeat to Hull City just 11 days later.
Having joined from Serie A side Atalanta in the summer, Lath looks to finally be finding his feet in the second tier, and at 7/4 – you can back him to add a third goal to his Carabao Cup tally by scoring at anytime against Port Vale on Tuesday.
