Chelsea are favored against Lincoln in their EFL Cup match-up, with recent stats pointing to an exciting, high-scoring game. Lincoln have had goals at both ends lately, while Chelsea have seen consistent wins and plenty of action in their matches. Chelsea leads the historical head-to-head and is expected to capitalize on their strong squad, making an away win with over 2.5 goals a strong prediction. Bettors should consider 'Chelsea Win & Over 2.5 Goals' and 'Over 3.5 Goals' as promising options.

Head to Head


Chelsea have a 5-1 advantage against Lincoln in eight meetings, with two draws.

Lincoln Form


League One Lincoln progressed in the EFL Cup after a 3-1 win at Harrogate and a 1-0 victory against Burton.

Lincoln followed the Burton win with a 1-1 draw with Mansfield and a 3-0 triumph over Notts County. The Imps then drew 2-2 at home against Wigan and beat Burton 1-0 away in League One.

Michael Skubala’s side secured back-to-back league wins after defeating Luton 3-1 at home on Saturday. Ben House scored on 12 minutes and Lincoln conceded before Justin Obikwu and House netted late on. 

Chelsea Form 


Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea join the EFL Cup in the third round this season as a higher-seeded team.

The Blues started the 2025/26 campaign in solid form and were unbeaten in their opening four matches. Draws with Crystal Palace 0-0 and Brentford 2-2 came either side of a 5-0 win at West Ham and a 2-0 victory against Fulham.

Chelsea’s strong start to the new season ended with consecutive defeats, starting with a 3-1 loss at Bayern Munich.

The London side were beaten 2-1 at Man United in the Premier League last time out. Chelsea conceded two first-half goals and Trevoh Chalobah scored a late consolation. 

Verdict

Chelsea can show their strength against Lincoln and get amongst the goals. An away win with over 2.5 goals is tipped in this EFL Cup encounter.
