Lincoln City Form
Wigan Athletic Form
On Saturday at 12:30 PM, Lincoln City will face Wigan Athletic in a key League One fixture. Lincoln City are currently sat in fifth place, having shown a strong start to the season, while Wigan Athletic is looking to recover from a sluggish start. This Lincoln City vs Wigan Athletic preview will cover various aspects of this game along with our recommended betting tips.
Lincoln City has been consistent with three wins, one draw, and just one loss from their first five games, scoring 10 goals and conceding 6. Lincoln has developed a solid approach where they’ve been difficult to break down.
On the other side, Wigan Athletic has had a rocky start, with two wins and three losses. Despite this, their 4-0 win over Bristol Rovers in their last game could signal a resurgence. Manager Shaun Richard Maloney will be keen to build on that result, and the 2-1 victory over Lincoln in their previous meeting might give Wigan a psychological edge.
These recent results and previous encounters will be key components when considering our betting tips for this matchup.
Given Lincoln City strong home presence and solid recent form, we slightly favour them to secure the victory. However, Wigan’s recent 4-0 win over Bristol Rovers and their victory over Lincoln in their last encounter suggest they can’t be counted out. Therefore, a tight game is expected, but Lincoln’s consistency may give them the edge. Our prediction is a home win, though a draw isn’t out of the question given the history between these two sides.
Match Prediction: Lincoln City To Win @ 9/10 with bet365.
Considering Lincoln’s solid goal-scoring record of 10 goals in five games and Wigan’s recent resurgence with a 4-0 win, we expect a competitive scoreline where both sides find the net. Lincoln has conceded 6 goals while Wigan has let in 5, suggesting both defences are vulnerable. The correct score tip for this match is Lincoln edging a 2-1, while a possible 1-1 draw could also be worth backing.
Correct Score Prediction: Lincoln City 2-1 @ 8/1 with bet365.
With Lincoln City scoring 10 goals and conceding 6 across their five matches, and Wigan scoring 6 but also conceding 5, goals are likely in this matchup. Given Wigan’s attacking performance in their last game and Lincoln’s consistent scoring form, our Over/Under betting tips suggest that betting on “Over 2.5 goals” is a smart choice.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals @ 23/20 with bet365.
For this match, a great bet builder tip to consider is Lincoln or Draw, Both teams to score, and Baily-Tye Cadamarteri to score anytime. Based on our previous analysis that favours Lincoln to win, but also a high potential for a draw, it seems wise to go for a double chance. Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities, so adding “Both teams to score” to the bet builder makes sense, while Cadamarteri, with Lincoln’s offensive strength, has a good chance of finding the back of the net.
Bet Builder Tip: Lincoln or Draw, Both teams to score, Baily-Tye Cadamarteri to score anytime @ 5/1 with bet365.
