Stevenage face Lincoln City in a game with major playoff implications for the home team and the potential to be confirmed as champions for the away team. Boro currently holds the final playoff spot but needs to keep winning to hold on to it. The Imps need just two points to ensure they win the League One title this season. It's all to play for on Saturday, and here is our prediction for the match.

With just four games left in the season, Lincoln leads Cardiff City by eleven points, meaning two more points, or Cardiff to drop points in any of their last four games, would hand Lincoln the title. Stevenage lie sixth in the table with 67 points from 42 games, three clear of Luton and four clear of Huddersfield and Plymouth.

Stevenage had been in good form until midweek. Their recent run started with a 0-0 draw at Rotherham, followed by a 1-0 win over Blackpool at home and then a 1-0 away win over playoff rivals Bradford. However, a midweek trip to Bolton this week turned into a disaster as they were thrashed 5-1 by the Trotters.

Unbeaten in their last 25 league games, Lincoln's recent form is, as you would expect, outstanding. A 3-0 win over Rotherham was followed by a 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon, both at home and then a 2-1 win over Reading. The Imps then faced Leyton Orient at the weekend and earned a 2-1 victory.

Our Stevenage vs Lincoln City Prediction

Our prediction for the Stevenage vs. Lincoln City League One match is: Double Chance - Lincoln/Draw.

This is one of those fixtures where the data tells one story, but the situation says something different, which is why we have not backed a Lincoln win outright. The Imps are imperious, unbeaten in 25 and it is hard to see them losing that run here. However, Boro need points to stave off the teams below them outside the playoffs, and have a good home record. As such, taking gthe value Double Chance pick of Lincoln/Draw makes sense.
