- Away record: Lincoln City have won 11, drawn five and lost only four of their 20 away league games in League One 2025/2026.
Lincoln look good value for the win
Lincoln City will take some beating when they travel to Doncaster in search of another win on Tuesday night. Michael Skubala’s side have hit their stride at just the right time and seem to be on a roll.
The Imps have won their last 4 consecutive matches and can claim the win here at good value of 2.06. Skubala’s team are a solid unit, which is evident in their away record this season of 11 wins, 5 draws and only 4 defeats from 20 away games in League One 2025/2026.
- Lincoln’s recent performances have shown their ability to press as a unit and then transition quickly, which should make for an interesting matchup with Doncaster Rovers, who are more of a controlled possession side.
- The visitors have averaged 1.50 goals per game away, scoring 30 on the road, but their style of play suggests they can make this number grow in a match against a side that likes to play a more controlled game.
- Rovers have conceded 29 goals in 21 home games and may struggle to contain Lincoln’s pressing, which could then leave them exposed in transition.
Rovers are solid enough to keep it close
Tactical approach:
The hosts are no pushovers, however, and will make it tough for Lincoln to win with any room to spare. Grant McCann’s men have adopted a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system this season, with Rovers focusing on controlling the ball and getting their fullbacks to provide width.
They can be solid when they build from the back but are also a threat when they get players in behind their opponents.
Form and key players:
Doncaster’s home form has been average, however, with two wins and a defeat from their last three at the Eco-Power Stadium. Rovers may also have to cope without their main attacking threat, Owen Bailey, who has scored 13 goals in 42 League One appearances this term. Lincoln will have Jack Moylan to lead the line, a reliable player who has ten goals in 27 appearances in the third tier.
Lincoln have 93 points from 42 games to put Doncaster in 15th with 53, which shows the gulf in class between these two sides. The Imps beat Rovers 2-1 when the sides last met in League One five months ago and the visitors are worth a bet to claim another victory with their momentum behind them.
