Draper took six League One yellows last season and committed 2.65 fouls per 90, placing him in the top percentile for forwards. Projected to lead Lincoln\u2019s line at the Riverside, his pressing and physical duel work provide a route to a tactical booking. Ayling has an established Championship card profile from right-back, recording ten yellows in 46 games alongside 2.18 tackles per 90. Both are projected starters, giving the selection a clear minutes pathway in a competitive fixture where promoted Lincoln will need to disrupt Middlesbrough\u2019s rhythm.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Morgan Whittaker to score 2+ goals<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">11\/2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Morgan Whittaker to score two or more is a high-price play with a strong home-scoring case. Boro\u2019s top scorer last season hit 14 Championship goals, ten at the Riverside, producing 0.62 home goals per 90. His underlying numbers are equally strong: 0.51 expected goals per 90, in the 97th percentile, 3.39 shots per 90, in the 99th, and two multi-goal league games. He is projected to start in Boro\u2019s attack against newly promoted Lincoln and is viewed locally as nailed-on. If Middlesbrough establish early control, Whittaker\u2019s high shot volume and home record give him a credible route from one goal to two.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-soa-bst-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">Back these tips with bet365 \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

They fell agonisingly short of the play-offs, and the aim this term is to go one better and challenge at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morgan Whittaker and Tommy Conway give them genuine quality in the final third, and a settled, well-drilled unit should relish opening at home. Anything less than three points here would count as a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-lincoln-city-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Lincoln City go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lincoln arrive as champions of League One, a title they wrapped up in style with 103 points and 89 goals. That kind of momentum is not to be dismissed, and the Imps will not lack for belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The step up to the Championship is a significant one, however, and few tougher openers exist than a trip to a promotion-chasing Middlesbrough. Keeping things tight early and taking their chances will be the plan for the Imps.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card.jpg\" alt=\"Middlesbrough vs Lincoln City: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121943\/fx06_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-middlesbrough-vs-lincoln-city-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Middlesbrough vs Lincoln City head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">No competitive meetings in recent seasons<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">\u2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sides have not met in the league in recent years, with Lincoln&#8217;s climb through the divisions keeping them apart, so there is no meaningful head-to-head record to lean on ahead of Saturday&#8217;s opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-middlesbrough-vs-lincoln-city-predictions-amp-betting-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Middlesbrough vs Lincoln City predictions &amp;
