Everton welcome the visitors Lincoln City in the English FA Cup – 1/32 Finals. The match will be held on Saturday, January 5th, at the Goodison Park (Liverpool).
Everton’s December performance was bleak – the ‘Toffees’ have won only 1 of 7 matches. The hosts also failed to take points in the 2019 opening. The ‘Merseysiders’’ calendar was tough though. Apart from the clashes with top six teams, Everton held a challenging outing against Brighton & Hove Albion and welcomed the plucky Watford and Leicester City. Thus, in light of the tight fixtures, not surprisingly, that they did not get many points. That said, the Liverpool team managed to ship 11 goals along this run, and in their home encounter with the ‘Foxes’, they deserved 1 goal at least but failed to find the net in the end.

Lincoln City confidently lead the League Two table; their defensive play is not great though. In 25 league encounters, the guests allowed 24 goals, which is around 1 goal per game on average. The team were regularly missing in the last 5 meetings, allowing 7 goals in aggregate. Moreover, of 18 previous rounds, the City played ‘to nil’ in 2 only. The guests’ attack in the last outings were not blistering as well – they made just 5 goals in 5 rounds away from home.
Everton do not claim European Cups’ spots, so, they will ty to show off in the Football Association Challenge Cup. They are fortunate to face an easy opponent in the third round of the competition. The sides feature a gulf difference in class. While Leicester, showing amazing defensive play lately, have held off the ‘Merseysiders’’ pressure, the frugal League Two representative will find it hard to oppose the hosts in Liverpool. There is no doubt that the ‘Toffees’ will storm the City’s goal. Even the ‘Foxes’, travelling to Everton, featured many hits by the welcoming side and possessed only 40% of the time. Given that the guests regularly miss yet in the 4th division, they will not succeed to beat Everton striving to bounce back from their latest failures.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with -2.5 handicap.
