Match preview

Lincoln City host Chelsea in the EFL Cup on 23 September 2025. Lincoln City sit 16th on 6 points and Chelsea are 15th on 6. Lincoln City have won 2 of their last 2 (WW), while Chelsea have won 2 of 5 (WWDLL). There is no recent head-to-head record between these sides in our data. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
