Lincoln City vs Everton Betting Tips & Predictions
Match Preview & Team News
The League Cup match against Lincoln City will probably come at the right time for Everton. Goodison's squad will have time to correct mistakes and lick their wounds after losing morale 2-0 in the Premier League to Aston Villa. It was also the first defeat of the season, so it's always fun to get weaker opponents to play afterwards. As expected, bookies have marked visitors as big favorites to win, with a price of 1/2 a chance.
Lincoln City must not be underestimated in any way. This team has made great progress and gained several promotions in the past decade. Many readers might also remember this team's great run in the recent FA Cup. Currently they are competing in League One with solid success, sitting in 7th place with nine points won in the first five meetings. The current form is not very good, showing two FT 2-1 losses for Doncaster and MK Dons.
Everton have a lot of problems in terms of efficiency during preseason too. They failed to score in the last two tests against Wigan and Werder Bremen. The number of goals scored in three EPL matches so far is one. Toffees definitely need to change things a bit and look for a winning formula.
REASON FOR LINCOLN CITY VS EVERTON BETTING TIPS
Lincoln's impressive start in League One is now in the past, because the Dancers have lost two things. Back in front of their home fans, they will try to get back up, even though getting better from the Premier League opposition will not be easy. The visitors are looking to build momentum ahead of the next top level task.
They might have lost each of their last two, which would certainly not please manager Danny Cowley, although if we scratched under the surface, we can see that Lincoln has been useful in League One this season. They are only one point outside the top six, they are an average of two goals and have given up an average of only 0.8, keeping three clean sheets in the process.
The fact that Lincoln only conceded two goals in five League One matches shows that they are not too bad behind. Much the same can be said for Everton, who have only conceded two goals in three Premier League matches this season.
However, while the Toffees seem useful at the back, they find it very difficult to make their presence feel advanced, despite having many individuals capable of attacking. Marco Silva's troops have only scored one goal in three matches, while an initial average of 1.09 goals is expected to show that they also suffer from lack of creativity.
After some bad results, Lincoln will probably not change too much in terms of personnel, because they will hope to do a good job before the next League One assignment. If this is the case, then it's not hard to see the hosts frustrating the Everton team who have struggled to advance during the first few weeks of the season. After all, the Troops showed determination to beat Huddersfield, who were at the top of the table, with zero goals while playing in this competition last season.
Considering the start made by this pair, 'Under 2.5 Goals' stands out as the best choice in betting. Lincoln only conceded two goals in five matches, while Everton, who struggled to get offensive, conceded in only one of their three Premier League matches. Furthermore, the pair combines an average of 1.47 goals against and 2.19 goals expected to fight.
Those who want to pocket the 'True Score' can try a narrow 1-0 win for the visitors. Everton have done well to keep the team in the Premier League, so they want to keep things tight against League One opposition. Silva's troops have fought offensively, while Lincoln is a decent team at the back, but with the best quality on their front lines, the Toffees can make a breakthrough.
