Lincoln City have already secured promotion but will be eager to finish their season on a high after a dominant campaign. Given Reading's ups and downs, we are tempted to bet on 1-0 away win. The league leaders come into this game in imperious form, winning 8 of their last 10 matches and averaging 2.70 goals per game while conceding just 0.40. Their away record is impressive too, with 75% of matches won on the road and 75% of games keeping a clean sheet. Forward Ryan One could start after his decisive goal off the bench in a 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon.
Reading, meanwhile, are fighting to secure a playoff spot. The Royals have been inconsistent, earning 1.60 points per game across their last 10 fixtures and conceding 1.10 goals on average. Their home form is slightly better, scoring 2 goals per game, but injuries to Elliott, O’Mahony, Ward, and Williams could limit attacking options.
Historically, Lincoln have dominated head-to-head encounters, winning 3 of the last 5 meetings, and given their superior form, Away Win should be considered, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Lincoln to Score First.
This League 1 match will be played on Monday 6 April 2026 at 15:00.
