Everton vs Mansfield: English League Cup Prediction (27.08.2025)

On August 27, 2025 at 20:45 CEST, the English League Cup 1/32 final will feature Everton against Mansfield Town. The match will take place in Liverpool, where the hosts are considered the clear favorites. Let’s examine the current form of both teams and provide our prediction.

Everton

This will be the first cup match at Everton’s new stadium, “Hill Dickinson.” That makes this game historic in its own right, even though the “Toffees” have already played their first official fixture here in the Premier League’s second round against Brighton. It’s worth noting that Everton are approaching the upcoming season with serious intent. The squad has been strengthened with several key signings, including Jack Grealish, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Aznou, Alcaraz, and Barry. While David Moyes may allow himself some rotation, a strong lineup is still expected.

Mansfield

It will be very difficult for the “Yellows” to stand up to this opponent. The “Stags” play in League One – the third tier of English football – and even there struggled, finishing only 17th last season. This season Mansfield also lack consistency, alternating between wins and defeats. In the League Cup, they entered from the first round and have already played one match, defeating fourth-division Chesterfield 2:0 away.

Head-to-head statistics

There are no head-to-head records. These teams have never faced each other before in an official match.

Prediction

For the Everton vs Mansfield match, our prediction favors the hosts. David Moyes is an experienced coach, and there’s no chance of underestimating the opponent. With home support at their new stadium, the Toffees look far stronger than Mansfield. In this situation, the recommended bet is Everton to win with a -1.5 handicap at odds of 1.77.
