Bolton and Lincoln go head to head with both sides eager to make a statement in the early stages of the season. Bolton are looking to return to winning ways after a goalless draw with QPR, a game in which they were arguably fortunate to escape with a point as the visitors registered 10 shots on target and 1.81 xG. Steven Schumacher's men have nevertheless been strong at home, collecting 1.83 points per game across their last seven matches and scoring 2.0 goals per game. Ben Davies is pushing for a starting berth, while Ruben Rodrigues remains sidelined.
Lincoln, meanwhile, endured a slow start to their campaign, suffering defeats to Middlesbrough and Portsmouth. However, their confidence received a major boost with a 4-1 EFL Cup victory over Blackpool. The Imps have been impressive overall, winning seven of their last 10 matches and averaging 2.2 goals per game. Their away record is particularly encouraging, with a 71% win rate and only 1.0 goal conceded per game. Bradley, Collins and Darikwa remain on the injury list.
As 9 of the last 12 H2H meetings produced at least two goals, Over 1.5 goals seems like the best betting option for this matchup, alongside Bolton or Draw (better H2H) and Over 0.5 goals first half.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 15:00.
