Our Three Predictions For Lincoln City v Northampton Town
- First Prediction – Lincoln City to Win – 4/6
- Second Prediction – Lincoln City To Score In Both Halves – Yes 9/5
- Third Prediction – Both Teams To Score, Yes – 17/20
First Prediction for Lincoln City v Northampton Town – Lincoln City to Win 4/6
Lincoln City has been impressive in League One this season, but after recent back-to-back defeats, they had looked susceptible to losses. They bounced back tremendously this weekend, beating Stockport County 2-1, and will be a tough prospect at home. While Northampton are unbeaten in three in the league, they’ve only won once away from home in the league, and have a single point from nine in Tuesday night matches, that coming against Stockport County. They should be competitive, but The Imps must be favourites.
Second Prediction for Lincoln City v Northampton Town – Lincoln City To Score In Both Halves – Yes 9/5
Lincoln City like to score in both halves – their 18 goals have been split eight in the first half, ten in the second. They often start brightly, scoring in the first minute against Birmingham, but also have options on the bench to bring late goals, as in the final minute at Blackpool. Importantly, in all the games at home where they’ve scored two or more this season, the goals have come either side of half time.
Third Prediction for Lincoln City v Northampton Town – Both Team To Score, Yes – 10/13
While the Imps score, they also concede a few goals – they’ve only kept two clean sheets in games they’ve won this season, and only once have they kept an opponent out at home. Keeper George Wickens has conceded seven in his last three matches, and while Northampton may lose this, they have only once failed to score on their travels, that on the opening day of the season against Bristol Rovers. With players like Tarique Fosu and Tyler Roberts settling, the Cobblers will have plenty of goal threat.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
The Imps are looking to climb into the top six with a win against a Northampton side experiencing a resurgence of their own. Michale Skubala’s men got back to winning ways this week with a 2-1 victory against Stockport County, having lost their record-breaking away streak in the week, going to 3-0 to strugglers Crawley Town. The Cobblers, on the other hand, beat Crawley 3-0 this weekend, their fourth game in all competitions without defeat. Jon Brady’s side are now up to 17th in the table, but a win at the LNER Stadium could lift them as high as 12th. Both teams will be hoping to sign off positively before the FA Cup weekend, which offers a little respite from League One action.
