⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2025/26 Season

[GiftedMAN]

Lincoln City stunned Chelsea in the first half when they scored few minutes to the break although some of us knows that in the second half Chelsea has a higher chance of coming back and of which they have done as they scored two quick goals after the restart. Chelsea now lead 2 - 1 on the night, I believe more goals will be likely scored before full time.

The 1st half win for Lincoln was around 4.8 odd before the start of the game it will be difficult for bettors to take the advantage to bet on the option since they are playing against Chelsea but I'm happy I got a better option of 1/2 from sportybet and Chelsea came back to make it work as they scored 2 goals in 5 minutes as they entered the second half to win their opponents Lincoln. It wasn't an easy game for Chelsea despite winning the game we must applaud Lincoln for showing good performance in the game.

Southampton wasn’t all that bad in this game, they did there best to ensure they keep the pressure on Liverpool, every mistaken pass, every lost ball and you would find a blue and yellow shirt right there to take chances and create something. They were just unable to keep possession for long and not have better chances at goal. There goal came from a very mistaken header from Endo, heading a free ball backwards instead of forward and the ever relaxing defense line couldn’t react quick enough to see the ball out.

Furthermore, Southampton were also unable to capitalize on the last minute equalizer when a Liverpool player received a red card. This actually benefited Liverpool, as they only narrowly won today's match. After the score was level in the 76th minute, Liverpool began to put pressure on Southampton to score again to win. This is what made Southampton struggle a bit in today's match, so Southampton's loss was understandable, as they faced a team that wasn't weak in today's match.

The way Chelsea approached the game in the first half was really poor they didn't play as a team at all and they struggled withstand Lincoln high pressing. I expected more from them but it seems like this squad will find it difficult if when they face a stronger team. The game ended 1-2 and Chelsea are lucky to have utilized their chances in the game.

Yes most of us knew that Chelsea was going to come back from behind to win this match in the second half, but unfortunately Manchester United fans were hoping that won't be the case since they lost to Grimsby. You needed to see the joy in the face of Manchester United fans here with me during the break. They were just wishing that the half time break was full time result. But Chelsea just disappointed with and so far they have all disappeared since Chelsea scored the second goal.

Manchester United fans are always there to hate watch whenever Chelsea plays that's just how it is within the fans they are always their to troll one another. Because they got beaten by Grimsby few days back they want Chelsea to lose also. If Chelsea have played with their main squad I don't think it will be this difficult for them but they just have to rest some players so they don't get fatigued.

Next match,

• Huddersfield vs Man City
• Newcastle vs Bradford
• Spurs vs Doncaster
• Port Vale vs Arsenal

Man City, Newcastle, Spurs, and Arsenal are the favorites and should have relatively easy wins in these matches. The question is, could there be an unexpected upset in any of these 4 games?

I'm considering putting all 4 favorites into a parlay, but the total odds are pretty low.

Round 3 will start in less than an hour.

I think all the winners are predictable because the joke team in Premier League not reach to this round, even Wolves vs Everton that looks equal, but I'm on Everton because they have successfully beat Wolves in Premier League.

Let's see what will happen, as long as Premier League teams not use their second squad, it won't ruin my expectation.

It finally ended in the favour of Wolverhampton. I saw the first 45 minutes of the game, they were completely happy with the result and they also had fun doing that. The set of players who started th3 first half fir Everton were  complete jokers. I don't even know what's with the hype around Tyler Billing.
Not even the introduction of Jack Grealish and Drewsburry Hall could bring a positve impact into the game. I was also able to see John Arias close up tonight.

Surprised Everton didn't go full strength in this game knowing fully well they were up  against a PL side and not some league one clubs. What was the essence of preserving players for league games when this is the only trophy they could dream of winning?

Tyler Billing is a good talent with higher ceiling, still very young and still getting used to the team, the whole team were completely bad can't pinpoint this on him.

The odds for EFL Carabao competition is very low, the small teams have bigger odds but their chances of winning is very slight to happen, therefore majority won't take on the risk. The big teams are usually the favorites, after some unsatisfactory results in the Premier league, i don't expect any of the big teams to lose any of the matches.

Picking the big teams in your parlay is a good combination, but considering the risk and benefit, it's not conducive to risk your bet for a minimal profits considering that anything might happen, even favorites sometimes lose important fixtures.

So far after today 2 premier league team fail to advance. Everton were knocked out by wolves, then burnley was also knocked out by Cardiff city. Chelsea, Brighton, Fulham, wolves and Liverpool are the premier league teams that have reach the next round so far other will play tomorrow.

Chelsea advanced but had to struggled to get this win, even had to come from behind, thanks to Tyrique George and buonanotte for putting them ahead just after 5 minutes after the break. A qualification is what was required and they got it done.

Liverpool also had to do it the hard way, isak got his first Liverpool goal and also Ekitike continues to flourish in front of goal.

Brighton put 6 pass Barnsley as they advance to the next round in style.

The Brighton result was most unexpected, scoring 3 goals in each half to get 6 goals at the end of the final whistle, an interesting result for the team but; you wouldn’t find them with half this performance in the premier league.

Liverpool nearly took their game to a penalty shootout. These guys have had some luck in this season, always finding a way to score that late goal that helps them secure all the points in a game. Southampton didn’t play any badly though.

When I saw Chelsea loosing by a goal in the first half, I had hoped they would find a way in and not so long into the second half, they did. Chelsea often waits for a push before they get the job done, not so good of the team.

As for me, I didn't expect less in their clash with Barnsley. Barnsley is not a good team and over time they have always been messed up in this manner. That was the team that Kai Havartz scored his first Chelsea hatrick against some years ago. They are seated in the 6th position in the league one as it stands. Brighton is a very good team but I think the managers approach is their problem in the premier League. They have the resources always but they do business with them. They may not believe in winning the league at the moment but that doesn't mean they are too bad to measure in the premier League.

I'm considering putting all 4 favorites into a parlay, but the total odds are pretty low.

There might be a surprise in one of their matches but I don't expect it. Just look at the lowest odds from the bookmakers for these lower-tier teams, which are @12.00, given to Doncaster Rovers. The rest of the odds for the other teams are higher. So I'm pretty confident that the favorites will overcome them easily. Regarding betting, I think we can consider the handicap option, with an average handicap of -1.5 for parlay. Overall the odds are quite reasonable and quite profitable, at @5.66.

I think it was an all round game, but I was more impressed and satisfied with Brighton winning because they had a very good and spectacular performance against the Burnsley team, where they have to hit them on 6 goals to Nothing, with Gomez scoring scoring a hatrick he was also very good and Ayari also played a very good game as well with a good performance.

Liverpool also played a very good game, but I wouldn’t really say it was a good performance, especially after the first half they left their foot off the gas and allowed Southampton into game, but Liverpool who always knows how to do a late comeback, scored a very good goal from Chiesa who is the man of the match to give Hugo Ekitike an assist to scoring a goal.

Chelsea wasn’t very impressive with their performance they were not very good with how they have played the game, most especially how they approached the game, but they still did find away to win the game, well the big teams always knows how to win games when playing this smaller teams.

Brighton had no respect for Barnsley despite going as a visitor this could be because they came from the upper league they never allowed Barnsley to score a goal at their home ground 0-6 is a humiliation.

Liverpool has been winning luckily from the starting of the season that is in all competition 95% of their winning always comes at the dying minute of the game, they were lucky they had their red card when they were already winning the game 2-1 they may not be lucky all times.

Chelsea hasn't been consistent with their play but they got what every teams target is which is 3 points i will say they did well they won the game from behind.

This is what made Southampton struggle a bit in today's match, so Southampton's loss was understandable, as they faced a team that wasn't weak in today's match.

It was another late goal from Liverpool to win the match again. The goal came in on the 86th minutes by Ekitike who pulled of his jersey to get a yellow card purposely. Ekitike should be happy that Southampton was unable to equalize the goal at the dying minute of the game when the opportunity came. I wonder why a player will deliberately send himself out of the field because he scored a leading goal.

Was Hugo Ekitike celebration last night against Southampton not too much? What must have prompted him to have that iconic celebration against Southampton. A team they should have won comfortably without much noise. A celebration that was so important to him that made him forget that he was already on yellow card. Now he will miss his team visit to crystal palace this coming weekend. Am sure the manager will be very furious with him even though Arne Slot won't say it.

It was actually insane to do such celebration in a Carabao Cup. It's not a champions league final or a World Cup final but a Carabao Cup where even the average teams from unknown leagues play. On the other hand, when you do something you never expect yourself to do, the joy you get within yourself at that time is inexplicable.

Perhaps, he never thought of scoring the winning goal in that match and he was extremely happy he couldn't control himself celebrating. By the way, every goal worth celebrating but that was a weird celebration thou. Grimsby knocked out Manchester United in a cup competition, Southampton should not be underrated here.

I get that feeling, he must have been very happy to scored a winning goal, but now he will not be available for selection in the next match which is also very crucial for his team given how stubborn crystal palace has always been against Liverpool. The manager would have loved a situation were he would have full options to his squad. This was something that could have been avoided. If he wasn't on yellow card already I would understand.

The hype makes him forget if he received a yellow card.

It's true Liverpool should have won easily against Southampton, but Arne Slot use many of second tier players in this match, that's why we see Liverpool quite struggle to win. I'm happy to see Slot give a chance to Chiesa again, he give a big contribution in this match.

Crystal Palace looks consistent in this season, Liverpool might fail to collect 3 points.

[Wake Up]

Brighton easily thrashed Barnsley 6-0 in the third round. Gomez scored four goals to earn man of the match. He also enjoyed perhaps the most special night of his career. Chelsea and Liverpool also appeared to be surprise winners, so far.

[Adbitco]

Lincoln City stunned Chelsea in the first half when they scored few minutes to the break although some of us knows that in the second half Chelsea has a higher chance of coming back and of which they have done as they scored two quick goals after the restart. Chelsea now lead 2 - 1 on the night, I believe more goals will be likely scored before full time.

I saw it was a good bet and I said it above. It's not even upto 10mins and the result is shown. If I take sport betting business seriously, I could win much.

What holding you back bro, lol. You should go ahead but the truth is that, it's not always as it seems from the outside. When you get in, it's a different ball game. It's very easy to predict games when you don't play it but the moment you start staking games with your money that's when you begin to wonder and you start asking yourself what's happening.
