Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Lincoln
Match Time & Date:
16 August 2025
15:00
Prediction: 2-1
Plymouth
Buoyed by the EFL Cup triumph over Harogate, Lincoln will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Plymouth in the League One round 3. Lincoln kicked off their home campaign with a 2-0 triumph over Reading and head into Saturday’s encounter as firm favourites to claim another victory. Midfielder Jack Moylan is unlikely to feature in this match after picking up a knock in the EFL Cup triumph on Tuesday evening.
The Pilgrims, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team losing to both Barnsley and Bolton in the first two league games and they face yet another uphill task against Michael Skubala’s troops. As over the years Lincoln have turned their LNER stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Plymouth forward Owen Oseni is pushing for a rare start after scoring a brace in the EFL Cup win (3-2) over QPR.
Highlighted Team (Plymouth):
Nicknamed the Pilgrims, Plymouth are a professional football club that host their rivals at Home Park. The stadium, which can hold up to 18,600 people, was built in 1892 and opened the following year. Plymouth footballers wear dark green jerseys and white shorts when playing in front of home fans, while light green and white are the dominant colours of their away kit.
The Pilgrims made it to the FA Cup semi-finals in the 1983-84 season, with the team advancing to the Football League Cup semis on two occasions (1964-65, 1973-74). The Pilgrims recorded their biggest win against Millwall on January 16, 1932, with the team beating the Lions 8-1, and they repeated the success in 1994 as they rolled over Hartlepool United in the Second Division.
The club suffered their heaviest defeat against Stoke City (0-9) on December 17, 1960. Fellow Devon teams Exeter City and Torquay United are seen as the club’s fiercest rivals.
