Match preview

Lincoln host Blackburn at Sincil Bank in round four of the Championship season, with both sides seeking to build momentum following mixed starts to the campaign. Lincoln enter the fixture in 17th place with three points from their opening three league fixtures, having recorded one win and two defeats. Their sole home league fixture ended in a 1-3 defeat against Portsmouth, though they secured a 1-0 away victory over Bolton in their most recent competitive outing.

Blackburn sit 10th in the standings on four points, registering one victory, one draw, and one defeat across their first three Championship games. The visitors have demonstrated consistent attacking output, scoring five goals across their three league fixtures, including a 2-2 draw away at Wolves. However, defensive stability remains a concern as they have conceded five goals and are yet to keep a clean sheet in league action.

Both teams have shown reliable scoring habits in the early phase of the season, failing to score in zero of their three matches. Blackburn enter the tie dealing with several squad absences, including M. Baradji, M. Jorgensen, A. Kargbo, L. Miller, M. Litherland, and S. Wharton through injury, while Lincoln are without J. Collins, T. Darikwa, and S. Bradley.

Confidence64%

Blackburn or Draw — 64% confidence

Blackburn have avoided defeat in two of their three league fixtures this season, collecting four points and scoring at an average of 1.7 goals per game overall and two goals per game on the road. Lincoln have lost two of their three league matches, including their only home fixture by a 1-3 scoreline. While Blackburn manage multiple player absences, their attacking threat led by A. Guðjohnsen provides sufficient balance to compete for at least a point against a Lincoln side that has struggled for consistency at home.

Yes — 72% confidence

Both teams have found the net in all three of their Championship matches this season, failing to score in zero games. Blackburn have scored five goals and conceded five across three matches, with all three league games and each of their last five fixtures in all competitions seeing both teams score. Lincoln have scored three goals and conceded five in league action, conceding three goals in their only home league game against Portsmouth. Given the absence of a clean sheet for Blackburn and Lincoln conceding an average of three goals per game at home, both teams scoring carries strong statistical backing.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and both teams to score), 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.
