Lincoln City
- Lincoln City's home record in the Championship is P5, W0, D2, L3, conceding an average of 2.40 goals per game.
- Lincoln City are scoring just 0.60 goals and conceding 2.40 goals per home game on average in the Championship this season and it's an equation that spells trouble.
- The Imps have been in the Championship, but Chris Cohen has only been at the helm since 9 June 2026 and has given this squad a clean slate in that time.
- Lincoln have had a tough start to the campaign, they're 18th in the Championship table with 12 points from 11 games, whereas Burnley are 22nd with eight points from 11.
Burnley
- Burnley have scored 1.60 and conceded 2.20 goals per away game in the Championship.
- The Clarets' away record stands at W1, D1, L3 in the Championship, so there's a feeling that this game could be a battle for every loose ball and it's unlikely to be a runaway affair, although Burnley should come out on top on paper.
- Lincoln City have won one of their last five games (W1, D1, L3), while Burnley have won only one of their last five (W1, D2, L2).
Key Players
Lucas Pires has been a real bright spark for Burnley, he's set up three goals in their last five and looks to be the hub for the visitors attacks, while Lincoln's main danger man has been Freddie Draper , who has two goals in eight Championship appearances so far.
Betting Insights

Prediction
- It's no surprise that we're going for the Under 2.5 goals bet at 1.88 for this game.
