Lincoln welcome Bolton to Sincil Bank in a high-stakes League One showdown, with the hosts riding a four-game winning streak and sitting 2nd in the table. As Michael Skubala is doing an amazing job with the Imps, our prediction points toward a 2-1 home win. Lincoln have been almost unstoppable of late, winning 80% of matches and averaging 2.4 goals per game, while conceding just 0.9 goals. At home, they maintain 2.60 PPG, have an xG of 1.78, and scored in every game this season. Their 70% BTTS rate suggests they can both score and concede, but their defensive solidity (xGA 1.04 at home) gives them the edge.
Bolton are hot on their heels in 3rd place, unbeaten in five, with 1.80 PPG overall and scoring 2.0 goals per game. However, the Trotters are slightly less reliable on the road (1.60 PPG, 0.8 goals scored away). Defender Jordi Osei-Tutu’s doubt could weaken their backline, but there are no other fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of Saturday's League One derby.
H2H favours Bolton historically, but Lincoln’s form makes this clash unpredictable. Given Lincoln's scoring consistency, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside BTTS (Lincoln’s 70% BTTS vs Bolton’s 50%) and Lincoln Over 1.5.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 14 February 2026 at 15:00.
