First Prediction for Chesham United vs Lincoln City – Both teams to score – 49/50
This is a clash between a side tenth in the National League South, against one of the top clubs in League One. The Imps haven’t been good at keeping clean sheets of late, but when you look at the goals they’ve conceded, it does suggest they’ve been unlucky. A wonder pass for one against Stockport, a deflection for one against Northampton, three on the break against Crawley. Generally, they’re good at protecting the goal, and you’d imagine part-time forwards could find it difficult to breach a defence that, last season, was one of the best in the country.
Second Prediction for Chesham United vs Lincoln City – Lincoln City to win – 1/4
There are cup ties primed for upsets, and those that should be routine. Two years ago, Lincoln lost to Chippenham at this stage, but it was a Lincoln team on a poor run, a team that was struggling for goals. This Imps team are different – they’ve got depth and quality throughout and bounced back from two defeats to bag six points in the last few days. They have at least four strikers you’d consider ‘first team’ in Jovon Makama, Ben House, Freddie Draper and Bailey Cadamarteri, as well as players like JJ McKiernan, a Northern Ireland Under 21 international, itching to play. This Lincoln side should have enough to ruin Chesham’s big day.
Third Prediction for Chesham United vs Lincoln City – Lincoln City to score in both halves – 16/25
The Imps don’t have a favoured time to score. They have managed goals in both halves in five of their six wins by two or more in the league this season. They like to start brightly, but also have the talent to bag late goals as well. Given their elimination against Chippenham and the dour 1-0 win against Bowers and Pitsea three seasons back, they’re going to want to settle nerves and get control early. Expect an early goal, a few risks, and then something late to finish the game off. A really adventurous bettor might even go for 2-0 exact score predictions, but the safer bet is for the Imps to bag in both halves.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
This is a huge game for Chesham, who have already fought past Cray Valley Paper Mills, Bishop’s Cleeve, and Yeovil Town to get to this stage. The Imps would have to get to the Fourth Round to match their opponent’s achievements, and that shouldn’t be understated. While this is described as the ‘First Round’ it really isn’t. However, this is as far as their journey should take them. Lincoln have started the season well, having just missed out on the play-offs in May. They’re currently fifth in the League One table, and come into the game with back-to-back wins in the bag, against Stockport and Northampton Town. Their hosts are on a good run too—betting tips suggest they haven’t been beaten since October 5th, narrowly edging out Enfield by the odd goal in five this weekend, triumphing courtesy of a late penalty against ten men.
