League leaders to edge past Lame Ducks
League One leaders Lincoln City are unbeaten in their last five games (W4, D1) and are fresh from a 2-1 win over Leyton Orient. Michael Skubala’s team is the league’s most consistent performer, having accumulated an astonishing 93 points from 42 matches, they know that they can’t afford to slip up this weekend.
Sixth-placed Stevenage Borough, with 67 points from 41 games, are in good form with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five. The Lame Ducks are also unbeaten in their last two at home (W2), but host Lincoln knowing that they can’t take the Imps lightly.
In the last five head-to-head meetings between the two clubs in all competitions, Lincoln have won two, Stevenage have won one and two draws have been shared between the sides. Lincoln won the last League One meeting 1-0 and the Imps are worth a bet at 2.31 to take the win here.
Imps can squeeze a win in a close game
Managerial approaches
Skubala took over as manager of Lincoln in November 2023 and has moulded a disciplined, high-pressing team that transitions quickly and poses a constant set-piece threat.
Alex Revell has made Stevenage a pragmatic team since his appointment as head coach in April 2024. They play with a compact block and can be tough to break down if they get the game down to their direct, counterattacking style.
Match expectations
With both teams in good form and in need of the points, expect a fiercely contested game where discipline, attacking quality and clinicality could be the deciding factors. Stevenage have been defensively solid in their home games, averaging 1.15 goals per game scored and only 0.55 per game conceded, but Lincoln have the firepower to win this contest.
- Stevenage and Lincoln average just 0.5 goals per-game when they meet, so this should be a close fixture with the advantage going to Lincoln given their superior league position and recent form.
- The visitors are on a four-game winning streak and are strong on the road, so they can edge out their hosts in this clash.
