Preview

Match preview

Bristol City welcome Lincoln to Ashton Gate in round six of the Championship season, looking to extend their strong run of form. The Robins enter this fixture sitting seventh in the standings on ten points having secured three consecutive league victories, most recently edging Burnley 2-1 on the road and defeating Preston 3-1.

Lincoln arrive positioned twentieth in the table with five points from their opening five fixtures. While they earned a 1-0 away win against Bolton earlier in the campaign, they have struggled for consistency in front of goal, averaging 0.8 goals per match and entering this contest with several fitness concerns across their squad.

With Bristol City scoring nine goals across their first five league matches and Lincoln looking to rebound from recent dropped points, the hosts carry stronger form into this fixture.

Over 1.5 Goals — 78% confidence

Bristol City have seen two or more total goals scored in all five of their Championship fixtures this season, maintaining an overall match average of 3.2 total goals. Lincoln have conceded six goals in five league outings, making a multi-goal contest a probable outcome.

Bristol City or Draw — 76% confidence

Bristol City have won three straight Championship matches, scoring seven goals during that sequence to climb into the playoff places. Lincoln have collected only five points from five matches and have generated an average of only 0.8 goals per game in the league, giving the home side a solid probability of securing at least a point.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
