Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Championship clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy is with Preston, with goals also on the agenda.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Preston or draw and both teams to score | 23/20 | Preston have plenty of goals in their games at Deepdale, beating Blackburn 2-1 and losing a 3-1 thriller with Bristol City, so their home fixtures rarely lack action. The Double Chance of Preston or the draw offers a sensible safety net, backing the hosts to avoid defeat on their own patch. Lincoln arrive capable of nicking a goal, having won 1-0 at Bolton and drawn 1-1 with Southampton, so they carry a threat despite a cautious style. With Preston finding the net regularly at home and Lincoln able to punch back, both teams to score alongside the hosts avoiding a loss looks a smart play. |
| Callum Lang to score anytime and Conor McGrandles to be booked | 33/4 | Lang is a proven goalscorer at this level, racking up 27 goals for Wigan, 16 for Portsmouth and 15 for Oldham across his career, so backing the Preston striker to find the net at Deepdale makes real sense. He knows where the net is. McGrandles is a tailor-made booking pick, a combative midfielder with a hefty disciplinary record featuring 43 yellow cards in 192 Lincoln appearances and a huge 184 fouls conceded for the club. He throws himself into challenges all game. In a competitive Championship clash, this striker-and-booking double stacks up nicely. |
