Lincoln will look to continue their strong home form when they host Barnsley in this League One clash, but with the Tykes brimming with confidence following the FA Cup win over Peterborough, 2-2 is our predicted outcome. The Imps have been impressive at Sincil Bank, winning three of their last four home games and scoring an average of 1.75 goals per match. Forward Ben House is suspended, but with just two goals this season, his absence is unlikely to hurt Lincoln’s attacking output. Defensively, the hosts have been solid, keeping two clean sheets in their last four home matches and conceding just 0.75 goals per game on average.
Barnsley arrive in decent form themselves, unbeaten in 3 of their last 5 league games, and averaging 3.5 goals per match overall. Midfielder Luca Connell is suspended, which could impact their creative midfield, but the Tykes remain a dangerous side capable of exploiting defensive lapses.
H2H history is fairly balanced, with Lincoln winning four of the last nine meetings and Barnsley three, often producing high-scoring encounters. Therefore Over 2.5 goals and Both teams to score seem appealing, alongside Barnsley to Score.
This League 1 match will be played on Tuesday 9 December 2025 at 19:45.
