Lincoln City visits Sheffield United for the two sides’ first-ever Championship meeting as action returns after the international break. Both lost three weeks ago, which left Sheffield 18th and Lincoln 12th. With both looking to bounce back, our prediction favors Lincoln, the joint best-performing travelers.
Sheffield United have once again shown signs that they may struggle to get to the playoffs. Before the short break, they lost 2-1 to Stoke City, their third defeat in the league and fourth in their last five matches.
The Blades have only managed two wins in the league this season, while their home form isn’t too encouraging either. In their four home games this season, they’ve only won once and lost the most recent two.
Lincoln City saw their five-game unbeaten run in the league halted last time out as they fell 2-1 against league leaders Swansea. They are looking to rise right away, and their ambition can’t be faulted, having done well so far in the season.
Across their last eight matches, the Red Imps have posted four wins while only losing twice. Their best performances so far have come in away matches, and this will be another avenue to keep rising.
In four league games on the road, Lincoln City have pocketed nine out of 12 points. That tally is only matched by the league leaders, Swansea.
