Millwall (home)
- Millwall have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four home games in Championship 2026/2027, conceding just five goals.
- Millwall are 8th with 14 and that makes them the sharper side on paper.
- Alex Neil took over the Lions on 30 December 2024 and his side have more structure than the Imps, who are a higher tempo, more pressing and much more mobile side.
Lincoln City (away)
- Lincoln City have won three and lost two of their five Championship 2026/2027 away games.
- Lincoln City are 15th in the Championship 2026-2027 with 11 points from nine games.
- Chris Cohen took charge of Lincoln on 9 June 2026 and appears to have fully bought into the style of play.
Who to watch
Dykes has two goals in Millwall's last five and is their focal point in the 4-2-3-1 system, so we're taking him as a major anytime scorer prospect for this clash.
Odds and market view
- Millwall have the superior overall quality and a proven home record to back up their 1.88 odds here.
- A Millwall or draw bet looks like a solid play here as the home side have a better overall record in this division and should get the three points, but we're keeping Lincoln City in it because of their superior away record and pressing game.
What to expect
- Lincoln City have had a mixed to poor run of form lately, winning two and losing three of their last five in all competitions.
- They come into this on the back of a two-game losing streak that saw them go down 3-0 to Sheffield United after a 1-2 home defeat to Swansea City.
- Millwall's form has also been a little patchy of late, winning one, drawing two and losing two of their last five in all competitions.
- But they held West Ham to a 2-2 draw at home last weekend and edged Preston North End 1-0 away in their previous away trip.
