- Millwall have won two, drawn one and lost one of their four home games in the Championship 2026/2027, conceding just five goals across the four games.
- Lincoln City have won three and lost two of their five Championship 2026/2027 away fixtures, so they can get a result at The Den.
- Millwall have the better record in the Championship 2026/2027 with 14 points from nine games to Lincoln City's 11 points from the same number of matches.
Lions can take the spoils in closely fought game
Millwall's record of 14 points from their nine games to date in the Championship 2026/2027 sees them sit eighth in the table, three ahead of Lincoln City in 15th.
The Lions are the sharper side on paper, having won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five in all competitions, but that run has included a 2-2 home draw with West Ham and a 1-0 win at Preston North End - a sign they may be rediscovering their bite.
Alex Neil has done an excellent job in his time at The Den, having taken over on 30 December 2024, but his side have always had a structure-first approach with the Lions set up to control territory and hit teams on the counterattack or through set pieces. Neil's side don't score too many goals and will look to keep it tight and hope Lyndon Dykes can get on the end of some of the second balls.
Imps’ tempo can keep it close
Dykes is the Championship 2026/2027's top scorer with four goals in eight games and he has scored two in his last five games for the club. He is the focal point of this Millwall side and if he has his shooting boots on, the hosts should get the three points.
Lincoln City have been a bit up and down in the Championship 2026/2027, with two wins and three defeats in their last five in all competitions. Chris Cohen took over the Imps on 9 June 2026 and has seen his side go full throttle with their pressing, tempo and attacking rotations.
Freddie Draper has been Lincoln's standout player, having scored two in eight in the league and half of their last five goals in all competitions. Draper is Lincoln's top Championship 2026/2027 scorer with two goals in the same fixtures and he can cause some problems for the Millwall defence.
Draw or home side looks a good angle
Lincoln come into this off a two-game losing streak with a 3-0 away defeat to Sheffield United following a 1-2 home loss to Swansea City. But the Imps' away record of three wins and two losses from five away fixtures in the Championship 2026/2027 suggests they can nick it.
Millwall are the likelier winners here, but the away side's threat and pressing style could make this a tight game, so our best approach to this fixture is to take the Millwall or draw double chance as the home side's edge is tighter and they are the stronger side in the Championship 2026/2027.
