Stockport return to Edgeley Park after a confidence-boosting 2–1 win at Mansfield, but their home form remains a real concern. Therefore, we predict a 2-2 draw. With 0.60 points per game at home and no wins in five, they have struggled to turn possession and territory into results. Stockport’s attacking output at home is modest—just 0.60 goals scored per match—despite a solid 1.37 expected goals, indicating inefficiency in front of goal. Defensively, they concede 1.60 per home game, which adds further pressure when they fall behind. There are no fresh injury worries, so the hosts at least approach this in full strength.
Lincoln have been in a much better form of late, collecting 1.70 points per game overall and showing excellent home form this season. Their away numbers, however, sit at just 1.00 point per game, with defensive issues evident in 1.80 goals conceded per away match. Still, Lincoln’s attack remains reliable, consistently scoring in five straight games and posting 1.37 expected goals away. James Collins remains in the recovery room, but his absence was barely felt in the impressive 2–1 win over Cardiff.
As both teams hit a 60% BTTS rate and defend inconsistently, we are tempted to place our bets on BTTS, alongside Over 2.5 goals (strong expected goals figures on both sides plus high H2H goal rates) and Draw.
This League 1 match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 15:00.
