Prediction: 2-1
Lincoln
Birmingham City will be aiming to recover from a 3-1 loss to Bolton when they take on Lincoln City in the League One round 36. The Blues are on a six-game winning run at home, with the team still leading the chase for automatic promotion. Lee Buchanan remains on the sidelines with injury, while Jay Stansfield is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Imps, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-1 win over Crawley Town. Lincoln are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and given Birmingham City’s attacking potential at home, there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting at the Hawthorns, Birmingham City defeated Lincoln City 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to West Midlands.
