Wigan vs Lincoln Prediction and Betting Tips 31 January 2026

Wigan return to DW Stadium searching for stability after a 2-0 defeat to Wycombe, but injuries continue to disrupt their rhythm, with Mabaya, Rogers and Trevitt all sidelined. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Latics' home numbers paint a worrying picture: just 0.33 points per game, 0% home wins, and only 0.33 goals scored on average. Defensively they concede 1.33 goals per home match, and their xGA of 1.33 suggests opponents consistently create chances. Failing to score in 67% of home games further highlights their attacking struggles.

Lincoln arrive in far better shape, sitting in an automatic promotion position and thriving under Michael Skubala’s proactive style. The O's average an impressive 2.40 PPG overall, rising to 2.67 PPG at home but still strong away with 2.00 PPG. Offensively, they produce 2.00 away goals per game with 1.35 expected goals, making them one of the most efficient travelling sides. Their high BTTS rate (75% away) reflects an attack-heavy approach, even if clean sheets are rare.

The H2H is balanced (2–4–3), but current form strongly favours the visitors, especially given Wigan’s injuries and lack of home output. Therefore, our prediction leans toward Away Win, alongside Lincoln to Score First and 2 or 3 goals.

This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 15:00.
