Exeter City (home)
- Exeter City have failed to win any of their last five games (D4, L1) and are winless in their last four at home.
- Exeter City have conceded 19 goals in their 17 home league games this season (1.12 per game on average).
- Dan Green’s men, who took charge at St James’ Park in February 2026, have done well to implement some of their ideas this term.
Lincoln City (away)
- Lincoln City have won their last two away games, including an impressive 2-0 win at Mansfield Town.
- The Imps hammered Blackpool 4-0 at Sincil Bank in their last League One game to make it four wins and one draw from their last five, including three victories in a row.
- Michael Skubala’s men play a high tempo, vertical game, pressing collectively and trying to get the ball wide where they can overload and create errors.
Head-to-Head
Both sides have won one and drawn three of the last five meetings between these two clubs, but Exeter won the most recent matchup away from home five months ago.
Key Players
-
Key players:
- Reeco Hackett leads their scoring with eight in 29 League One appearances this season, but Exeter City’s biggest threat is Jayden Wareham, who has scored 15 times in 34 games.
- He has netted five of his side’s last six goals.
Betting Insights
- The Imps are hot favourites at 2.06 to justify their tag of promotion favorites by winning on Tuesday, and we’re inclined to agree, but we’re passing on those odds because we believe this game could go over 2.5 goals.
- So odds of 1.89 on Over 2.5 goals look fair given the respective goals-per-game averages.
- In terms of a correct score, we feel the best bet is 2-0 away because Lincoln keep things so tight at the back.
Prediction
- Goals seem highly likely when two teams who like to get at their opponents come to play and with Lincoln City’s current form it’s hard to see anything other than the visitors taking the win.
- But against a full on, pressing side like Lincoln, that won’t work and we fancy the visitors to win this game because of it.
