Lincoln City - Peterborough United predictions and free betting tips [27/01/2024]

On January 27 in League 1, England's third strongest division, at the "LNER" Stadium, "Peterborough" will play against "Lincoln". Let's look at the state of the teams and try to make a decision that will help increase our bank.

"Lincoln"

"The Imps" are gradually manoeuvring between divisions. Last year the lads showed average results, which resulted in an 11th-place finish. They are currently in 12th position in the league table.

In the 24th match of the season, they lost by a minimal score to "Bolton". Then the lads lost to "Northampton" with a score of (1:2). In the following match they suffered a 4th consecutive defeat from "Blackpool" (0:2). After this, they broke their losing streak, drawing with "Wycombe" (1:1). And in the last round, they had a goalless draw with "Derby County".

"Peterborough United"

Last season "Peterborough" showed good results. As a result of the championship, they finished 6th in the league table and had a chance to play in the playoffs for promotion to the Championship. In the semi-final they played against "Sheffield Wednesday", whom they beat in the first match with a score of (4:0), but in the return match, "Sheffield" surprised, winning with a score of (6:1) in extra time.

This season "Peterborough" continues the fight for promotion to the Championship, being in the 2nd position. In the 23rd round, they drew with "Reading" (2:2), after which they drew with "Barnsley" (2:2). In the next match, they beat "Derby County" away with a score of (3:2). Then they won against "Charlton" (2:1). In the last round, the team won over "Shrewsbury Town" with a score of (2:1).

Head to head meetings

The last time the teams met was on October 7, 2023. In that match, "Boro" won a home victory with a score of (2:0).

Forecast

In this confrontation, I suggest putting on another victory for the visitors. "Peterborough" is showing great play in recent matches, practically overtaking "Portsmouth" in points. "Lincoln", however, is currently experiencing difficulties, resorting to drawing results. It is unlikely that the hosts' defence will be able to withstand the onslaught of one of the leaders of the championship this time.  

Target total forecast

It is unlikely that the teams will be able to show high-scoring football, so I suggest placing a bet on a total over 2.5.
