Watford and Lincoln City are separated by just four points ahead of their matchday 14 fixture in the Championship, which promises to be an intriguing lower-half contest. This match on Tuesday at the Vicarage Road in Watford between the 21st-placed ‘Hornets’ and the 16th-placed ‘Imps’ could turn out to be a low-scoring affair between two struggling offensive units, so our match prediction is under 2.5 goals.

With 11 points (W3, D2, L8), Watford find themselves just two points above the relegation zone ahead of this round. Lincoln have 15 points (W4, D3, L6) and are slightly better than their hosts.

Watford were beaten 3-2 away at Norwich at the weekend extending their struggles in the league. The Hornets have lost six of their last seven league games (W1) with their only victory coming against Charlton.

Their form at this venue is slightly better, as Watford have three wins from their last six home league games (D1, L2).

Lincoln lost 3-1 at home against Birmingham at the weekend, ending a mini-resurgence of four points in two games (W1, D1). That was also the fourth defeat in their last six league games, as the ‘Imps’ look to improve their position.

The visitors are likely to push hard for points here, considering they have lost just one of their last five away league fixtures (W3, D1).

Our Watford vs Lincoln City Prediction

Watford have scored only 12 goals this league season, and only three teams have netted fewer goals after 13 rounds. Lincoln City are only marginally better, having netted just 14 goals. While their defences have struggled, their offensive struggles could determine the result here, although the host’s relegation worries could be a bigger concern.

These clubs are playing for the first time since 1981, and it is the first head-to-head fixture in the Championship. Both teams have had their struggles in scoring, so our Watford vs Lincoln City prediction is under 2.5 goals.
