Lincoln, representing League One, come into this EFL Cup clash in fine domestic form. Their latest outing was a 3–1 home win over Luton, extending their unbeaten streak to five matches across all competitions. In that run, they have beaten Burton Albion away (0–1), cruised past Notts County 3–0, and held Wigan to a 2–2 draw.
They have been strong at home, scoring three times in two of their last three fixtures at Sincil Bank. With 9 goals scored across their last five games, Lincoln arrive brimming with confidence despite the step up in opposition.
Chelsea, meanwhile, approach this tie from a far more demanding schedule. They fell 2–1 at Manchester United over the weekend and before that lost 3–1 away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
However, their domestic record shows strength: a 2–2 draw at Brentford followed by consecutive league wins over Fulham (2–0) and West Ham (1–5) highlighted their attacking depth.
Across their last five matches in all competitions, Chelsea have scored 11 times but conceded 9, showing both their firepower and defensive vulnerabilities.
The gulf between League One and Premier League opposition is clear, but Chelsea’s defensive lapses could give Lincoln encouragement. The home side have been free scoring in League One, and with their crowd behind them, they will aim to test Chelsea’s backline.
This match looks set to produce goals. With Lincoln in strong scoring form at home and Chelsea conceding regularly, the expectation is for a lively contest. That makes Over 3.5 goals (2.04 odds) an appealing pick, especially as both sides have been involved in high-scoring games in recent weeks.
Given the difference in squad depth and attacking quality, Chelsea should ultimately have too much for their League One hosts. A repeat of their emphatic away win at West Ham cannot be ruled out, and the Chelsea 4–1 correct score (13.00 odds) offers significant value, reflecting both Lincoln’s potential to nick a goal and Chelsea’s attacking firepower.
