- Lincoln City have lost their only home game in Championship 2026/2027, conceding an average of 3.0 goals per game.
- Blackburn are undefeated away from home in the Championship 2026/2027, drawing 1 of 1 and scoring 2.00 goals per away game.
Back-to-back defeats have put pressure on The Imps
Lincoln City, who have collected 0 points from two matches, sit 20th in the Championship 2026/2027, and it's important that they can find some rhythm before the pressure starts to build.
The Imps have won three and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions, which is a decent run, but the pressure is on the home side after consecutive defeats.
A 2-1 away defeat at Middlesbrough was followed up with a 1-3 home defeat against Portsmouth and while a 1-4 away win at Blackpool in the EFL Cup showed the gulf in class between the two divisions, those results are still a step up.
The main goal threat for Lincoln City is Adam Reach with 1 goal in 2 Championship 2026/2027 matches, although Tendayi Darikwa has added some invention with 1 assist in 2 games.
Head coach Chris Cohen's men will play front-foot football, counter-pressing their opponents and transitioning quickly. However, a home record of one defeat and 3.00 goals conceded per game suggest that they could be a little too open.
Rovers have that little bit of extra quality
Blackburn Rovers will be a tough test for Lincoln City on Tuesday night, they sit 7th in the Championship 2026/2027 table having taken 4 points from a possible 6, which is a stronger start to the season than The Imps.
They arrive off the back of a 2-1 victory at home to Middlesbrough and a 1-2 defeat to Sheffield United in the EFL Cup, a solid reaction to their cup heartbreak last week.
Andri Gudjohnsen leads Rovers' scoring with 2 Championship 2026/2027 goals in 2 matches, while Todd Cantwell has added 2 in his last 5 appearances in all competitions.
Tony Mowbray's side have been playing on a high-tempo, possession-based system with his full backs getting forward to good effect, and it's a system that has delivered points.
With Blackburn currently undefeated away from home and having scored 2.00 goals per-game, they should have the quality to win this one, although the 31/20 odds on the visitors is equal to the price on Lincoln, which looks like a knife-edge contest.
We're not getting involved at these prices, but the draw at 13/5 seems like a value option here. This should be a close Championship battle and Blackburn's extra quality should see them nick it or force a stalemate. The BTTS market looks tempting at 18/25 as well, while over 2.5 goals at 43/50 is worth a look, too.
It will be interesting to see which side lands the cleaner punches, as Lincoln City's direct style will go head-to-head with Blackburn's structured, pressing game and the midfield battle will be key.
