Exeter City will try to recover from a 2–1 defeat to Barnsley when they face Lincoln City on Matchday 26. As the league leaders look unstoppable at the moment, we predict a 1-0 away win. The Grecians' recent form remains poor: just 0.90 points per game overall and 0.60 PPG at home. Exeter struggle badly in front of goal at St James Park, scoring only 0.60 goals per home match, while conceding 2.20, which explains their winless home record (0%). Their matches tend to be open, averaging 2.80 goals at home, with a 60% BTTS rate. The xG (1.54) suggests they create enough chances, but conversion remains an issue.
Lincoln City, on the other hand, are full of confidence after a 2–0 win over Cardiff City, keeping them top of the League One standings. The Imps are in outstanding form, taking 2.60 PPG both home and away and winning 80% of recent matches. Their defensive record is exceptional, conceding just 0.50 goals per game and keeping 60% clean sheets. With 2.20 goals scored per away match and consistent xG numbers (1.26), Lincoln look the much more balanced and efficient side. There are no fresh injury worries for the visiting team.
Despite a relatively even H2H history, current form heavily favours the visitors. Given their recent 80% win rate, Away Win should be considered, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Lincoln to Win to Nil as the Imps concede just 0.50 per match.
This League 1 match will be played on Tuesday 10 March 2026 at 19:45.
