Lincoln City
- Lincoln City have won four and drawn one of their last five matches.
- The Imps are the dominant force in the league, backed by a strong defence, and their home record this season has been exceptional (13 wins, 4 draws, 1 defeat).
- Michael Skubala’s side are on a four-game winning streak, sweeping Blackpool aside 4-0 in a recent home game before back-to-back 2-0 away wins at Mansfield Town and Cardiff City.
- The hosts will feel confident about getting another victory on Saturday as they have conceded only 15 goals in 18 League One home games, while Stockport County have conceded 22 in 17 away.
Stockport County
- Stockport County have two wins and three defeats in their last five.
- Stockport County have also enjoyed a successful campaign and are still in the hunt for a top-six finish on 56 points from 34 games (5th).
- Dave Challinor’s team like to play at a more controlled tempo than Lincoln and set up with a mid-to-low block, creating overloads on the flanks and launching quick counters when possible.
- Stockport have won seven of their 17 away fixtures in League One 2025/2026 but have four draws and six defeats.
- They have three defeats in their last four away games, including defeats at Burton Albion and Stevenage Borough in their most recent League One away games.
Head-to-Head
Lincoln City have won two of the last three head-to-head meetings between these sides and Stockport County have one win and no draws .

Betting Insights
Both teams to score - Yes is priced attractively at 1.72 considering the attacking options in each team and recent scoring trends, but we are taking a home win at 2.02 as our main play.
Prediction
- Skubala’s Lincoln side like to press high and transition quickly, which should cause problems for Challinor’s more organised approach.
- We anticipate an entertaining game, but Lincoln should be able to clinch the victory with their home advantage.
