Portsmouth travel to the ProAmpac Stadium to face newly promoted Lincoln City on Saturday. Both teams have scored and conceded in their recent competitive outings, leading us to back a high-scoring contest in our prediction.
Lincoln City kicked off their Championship campaign on a disappointing note, losing 2–1 away at Middlesbrough in the opening round. However, it's too early to write off the Imps after they clinched the League One title and returned to the English second tier for the first time in 65 years.
Meanwhile, the opening-round defeat to Middlesbrough means the Lincoln-based outfit have both scored and conceded in their two competitive matches this season, including their 2–1 victory over Derby County in the Carabao Cup. Six of their last eight competitive matches, dating back to last season, have seen both teams score, with six producing over 2.5 goals.
Portsmouth have conceded six goals in their two competitive matches this season. That includes a 3–1 defeat at home to Queens Park Rangers in their Championship opener last week.
They have found the net and also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five competitive matches, dating back to last season. Four of those outings finished with no fewer than three goals.

Our Lincoln City vs Portsmouth Prediction
This match pits two sides that have been struggling to keep things tight at the back. The two teams have conceded a combined 10 goals across their respective two competitive outings this season. They have also been productive in attack, finding the net in each of those two matches.
In fact, their potent attacks have gone hand in hand with their defensive frailties since last season, resulting in high-scoring encounters. This clash is likely to follow the same trend. Our Lincoln City vs Portsmouth prediction: over 2.5 goals.
