(Entity Framework) context.Database.SqlQuery return invalid object name for table but LINQ query works

Question

I'm working on an MVC web app using Entity Framework 6. I can't figure out why I can query with LINQ but context.Database.SqlQuery() doesn't work and always returns an invalid object name error for the table.

This works:

db.MatchHistory.Where(u => u.id == sumID).ToList().Count()

This doesn't. I also tried tblMatchHistory and dbo.tblMatchHistory.

db.MatchHistory.SqlQuery("SELECT * FROM [dbo].[tblMatchHistory] WHERE id = '" + sumID + "'").ToList().Count()

What am I missing? Or should I just not be using SqlQuery()?

You should use count() in SQL like

int nCount= db.MatchHistory.SqlQuery("SELECT COUNT(id) as id FROM [dbo].[tblMatchHistory] WHERE id = '" + sumID + "'");

That's true, I should have, but I have another SqlQuery() line without a count and it has the same problem.
