Lincoln City
- Lincoln City have won four and drawn one of their last five League One games.
- Lincoln City should have too much class, momentum and firepower for Wycombe Wanderers to cope with on Saturday when two teams with contrasting recent records meet.
- Lincs have amassed the most points of any team in League One this season with 97 from their 44 matches.
- At home, they have won 17, drawn 4 and lost only 1 in 22 League One outings this term and can call upon an attack that has scored 49 times in those games.
Wycombe Wanderers
- Wycombe Wanderers have won one and lost three of their last five League One matches.
- Wycombe, who are 11th with 60 points from their 44 games, have been winless in their last two away trips, with a draw and a defeat, and can’t be as optimistic as the hosts.
- Michael Duff likes to play a more rigid system with wingbacks providing width from a back five and midfielders that are disciplined enough to cover the holes in the defence.
Head-to-Head
- The Chairboys edged Lincoln 3-2 at home in League One five months ago, but that was the last of three straight wins in the head-to-head that give them a psychological edge going into Saturday’s game.
- But Lincs are a team transformed under Skubala’s tenure and have developed into a team that can adapt to any occasion and overcome any setbacks.
Key Players
- Jack Moylan:
- Jack Moylan is the perfect focal point for this system, capable of scoring and creating opportunities for his team-mates from deep or wide positions.
- He has bagged 10 times in his 28 League One appearances and his movement and finishing inside the box gives Lincs a regular goal threat.
- Fred Onyedinma:
- Fred Onyedinma is their key man, netting 10 times in 41 League One outings, and he can be a major threat in the penalty box on set play.
Betting Insights
But Duff’s side will sit in and be tough to break down, so we are recommending the Over 2.5 goals option at 1.76 as the best chance of profit, but Lincs are the odds-on favourites at 1.79 with Wycombe 3.79 and the draw at 4.0 .
Prediction
Lincoln’s home fortress should provide the perfect setting for Lincs to prevail because they can win the battle between Duff ’s discipline and Skubala ’s creativity.
