Preston will look to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Watford when they take on Lincoln City at Deepdale. The Lilywhites are desperate to escape the relegation zone and have won just 20% of their last 10 matches. Their home record is particularly worrying, with only a 17% win rate and an average of 2.50 goals conceded per game. Preston have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 10 matches, while BTTS has landed in 83% of their recent home fixtures. Andrija Vukcevic limped off in midweek, with Stanley Mills likely to step up.
Lincoln head into the contest unbeaten in their previous three league matches after producing a strong display in a 1-1 draw with Southampton, recording 1.92 xG. The Imps have won 50% of their last 10 games and boast an impressive 67% away win rate. They average 1.67 goals per game on the road and have conceded just 1.33. Danish forward Mikkel Ladefoged is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute last time out.
As Lincoln have won 67% of their last 10 away games, producing a fine display against Southampton in midweek, Away Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Preston's home games average 3.50 goals).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 12 September 2026 at 15:00.
