Burton vs Lincoln Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Lincoln would love nothing better than to dent the promotion bid of their rivals, but a 15-game winless run on their second-tier travels, including five defeats on the bounce, suggests that such a result is likely to prove beyond them. As for Burton, they have enjoyed eight wins in their last nine matches in front of their own supporters at this level.

Lincoln have not been the most entertaining of sides to watch recently, as seven of their previous ten matches in the League One have served up no more than a couple of successful strikes. Under 2.5 goals has also been the order of the day in five consecutive Burton home games at this level, with the net bulging just four times across these contests.

When Lincoln come calling, excitement doesn’t tend to follow, with six of their previous seven away games at the top table of the League One seeing at least one of the two goalkeepers emerge with a clean sheet. What’s more, eight of the last nine Burton home matches at this level, including six in a row recently, have followed the same pattern.
