Lincoln City will be desperate to halt their sliding fortunes in the EFL Championship as they come up against the relegation-threatened Burnley on matchday 12. This match on Saturday at the LNER stadium between the 18th-placed ‘Imps’ and the 22nd-placed ‘Clarets’ could see action from both teams with BTTS our match prediction.
With 12 points (W3, D3, L5), Lincoln City are only three points above the relegation zone. The last of those teams in the red zone is Burnley, with eight points (W1, D5, L5), who are one point away from the safety zone.
A 2-2 away draw at Millwall helped Lincoln halt a three-game losing sequence. However, this run of just one point from four matches has got the Imps closer to the relegation zone.
It’s the home form that’s pulling them down, as Lincoln are yet to win a league game at this venue this season (D2, L3), including a 6-0 heavy thrashing at the hands of West Ham in the last game here.
Burnley lost 2-1 at home against the Wolves, which was their first defeat in their last four games (W1, D2). Despite their indifferent season, the Clarets have lost back-to-back matches only once in this league campaign.
Burnley have won their last away game – 4-0 away against Watford, although three defeats in four prior trips put a question mark.

Our Lincoln City vs Burnley Prediction
Lincoln lost touch with winning by losing three of their last four matches, while Burnley continue to struggle to close out games. The hosts are sliding down the table, and another defeat would push them even closer. Burnley can achieve that, but their recent form isn’t encouraging. That makes backing any of these sides to win a high risk.
Only Preston conceded more goals than Burnley this season, while Lincoln are not far off. That’s why our Lincoln City vs Burnley prediction is BTTS.
