Lincoln City
- Lincoln City have won four of their last five competitive games, including impressive away victories over Barnsley and Stockport County.
- Skubala’s fast and furious Imps play a high-tempo, counter-attacking style of soccer that relies on quick transitions, aggressive pressing and a varied set-piece bag of tricks.
- Lincoln had won their previous four competitive matches going into a 1-1 draw on Wednesday, leaving them comfortably in the automatic promotion places with 44 points.
Peterborough United
- Peterborough United have won four of their last five competitive matches and look to have improved under Luke Williams’ coaching.
- Posh, who have won four of their five games in all competitions since Williams took over in October, are mid-table in the high-20s and hoping to keep their revival going with another result.
Head-to-Head
Lincoln City have dominated the head-to-head record in recent years, hammering Peterborough United 5-1 and 3-0 in their most recent two meetings.
Key Players
- Lincoln City
- Reeco Hackett-Fairchild is Lincoln’s most in-form and influential player right now, scoring in their Boxing Day victory at Stockport County.
- Rob Street has been a livewire off the bench this season, winning penalties and providing an attacking outlet.
- Freddie Draper and James Collins provide the experience and regular goals.
- Peterborough United
- Harry Leonard leads the line for the Posh and is their top scorer this term.
- Jimmy-Jay Morgan offers a bit of creativity and has chipped in with some goals.
- Declan Frith provides pace and width and scored the winner on Boxing Day.
Betting Insights
- There is enough quality in each to suggest both teams can score in this fixture at around the 1.75 odds.
- Lincoln are very clear favorites at 1.8 with the visitors at 4.27 and the draw at 3.62, but we feel the odds on the hosts are about right for this game.
Prediction
- A home win should see the Imps maintain their place among the automatic-promotion contenders in the 2025-26 League One table and keep the Posh in mid-table obscurity for another week.
- The game should be open enough for both to get on the scoresheet, but Lincoln’s superiority in set pieces and superior overall form should see them edge a close game.
