Matchday seven in the Championship sees Preston North End and Lincoln City battle it out at Deepdale. Clean sheets have been few and far between for Preston, who have conceded in their last six league games and have seen both teams score in five of those outings. With the visitors scoring in their last two away matches, our prediction is for both teams to score.

Preston North End are anchored at the bottom of the table with three points and are two points behind their opponents in 19th place. Three points would put 18th place within reach, depending on how results elsewhere unfold.

The Lilywhites find themselves in this position due to their poor start to the 2026-27 Championship season. The home side have lost four of their last five matches. During that stretch, both teams scored in five of those outings.

In their recent match, Paul Heckingbottom's men let a lead slip in a 2-1 away defeat to Watford on Tuesday.

Lincoln City are proving to be a difficult side to beat after losing their first two league games. As they enter this clash, the visitors have maintained a three-match unbeaten run, recording two draws and a solitary win.

The Imps recorded their second successive draw after holding Southampton to a 1-1 home draw. Following that result, they lost 4-0 against Bournemouth on the road in the third round of the EFL Cup.

Our Preston North End vs Lincoln City Prediction

Preston have been in poor form this season, with five losses in six games. Another reason for their struggles this season has been a fragile backline that has conceded 12 goals. Additionally, they are conceding 2.33 goals per game at home.

However, the hosts shouldn't be ruled out of scoring, having found the back of the net in five of their last six games. Lincoln City's backline has also been unreliable, with five goals conceded in their last two matches across all competitions. That said, expect both teams to score. Our Preston North End vs Lincoln City prediction: BTTS.
