Lincoln vs Birmingham City Preview
Buoyed by a 4-1 win over Burnley, Lincoln will be eager to maintain their attacking momentum when they host Birmingham City. The Imps have now seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last five Championship matches, although their home form has been less convincing, with just one win in their last five outings at their own ground. Sonny Bradley picked up a knock at the weekend, leaving Ryley Towler ready to step in. Lincoln have conceded an average of 2.00 goals per home game, so defensive improvement will be crucial.
Birmingham City, meanwhile, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Cardiff, which ended their three-game winning run in the Championship. The Blues have generally been more consistent than their opponents, winning three of their last five away matches and conceding an average of just 1.00 goal per game overall. However, Leonard and Paik Deung-Ho are both expected to miss out, potentially limiting the visitors’ options.
With Lincoln’s last five league matches all going over 2.5 goals, this betting option should be considered, alongside Birmingham City to win and Birmingham as the Blues have won all three previous H2H meetings.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday, 31 October 2026 at 12:30 in LNER stadium, Lincoln.
