Interesting Lincoln City vs Burton Albion prediction for League One

On the 21st of January, Lincoln City take on Burton Albion in one of the most vicious survival battles you’ll find in the English football leagues these days.

Both teams to score – Yes

The two teams have defensive lines which simply lack the skill or motivation to perform this season. With 30 conceded goals this season, it’s very likely that Lincoln City will concede again. But that’s nothing compared to Burton Albion’s 54 conceded goals! This makes them the worst defense in the league and seeing as six of the last 10 head-to-head events ended with both teams scoring, we feel that the match on Saturday will honor that tradition.

Over 2.5 goals

Six of the last 10 games between Lincoln City and Burton Albion ended with over 2.5 goals and we’ve seen some very interesting results in the past. That 5:1 Lincoln City victory two years ago was a particularly pleasing one and we just might get to see something similar happen on Saturday. Neither team can afford to lose points and this is a great stepping stone for our Lincoln City vs Burton Albion prediction.

Lincoln City to win

The Imps are eager to get the ball rolling on Saturday as this would be the best chance they’ll get for a full set of points in one game this season. After all, Burton Albion are almost at the bottom of the table with a fragile one-point lead over the unfortunate Forest Green.

With five victories, one draw, and four losses against Burton Albion, the Imps are indeed favorites to win this game and when you add the home-field advantage to the equation, you just can’t help but predict a victory for coach Mark Kennedy’s boys.

Lincoln City vs Burton Albion: match preview & news

Before you place a bet make sure you’ve given our Lincoln City vs Burton Albion match preview.

Lincoln City

The Imps are currently in 16th place and with six victories, 12 draws, and seven losses, it’s fair to say that coach Mark Kennedy’s boys aren’t up to par with the heavyweights this season. In fact, Lincoln City is getting dangerously close to the relegation zone and with a fragile five-point lead, they should step it up a notch if they want to remain a League One side for the 2023/24 campaign as well.

Burton Albion

The Brewers haven’t been at their usual best recently. There’s no excuse for being a point away from the relegation zone and the five victories, seven draws, and 14 losses are more than sufficient to cause turmoil among the fans.
