Match Facts

  • Cardiff City have won four of their last five league games against Port Vale (D1), with this their first home match against the Valiants since a 3-1 victory in August 2002.

  • Port Vale have won just one of their last six away league games against Cardiff City (D1 L4), a 3-1 victory in May 1994. 

  • Cardiff have kept clean sheets in both of their last two home league games, and will be looking to record three in succession at the Cardiff City Stadium for the first time since October 2024.

  • Port Vale have won just one of their last 13 away league games against sides from Wales since April 2002 (D4 L8), though that sole win came in their last such fixture in a 4-1 success over Newport County in September 2024. In that match, the Valiants scored just one goal less than across their prior 12 visits combined (5).
