Lincoln City vs Burton Albion Prediction 14.10.2023

• Competition: England &— League One
• Date: Saturday, 14th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16.00 CEST
• Venue: LNER stadium (Lincoln)

Burton Albion is determined to continue their unbeaten streak in League One and they will face their next challenge at Sincil Bank when they go up against Lincoln City this Saturday.

Lincoln City’s hopes of achieving a historic Championship promotion were dashed in the 2020-21 season with a painful 1-2 loss to Blackpool in the playoff final. Unfortunately, the team has since struggled to regain their momentum in the following two League One campaigns, finishing in 17th and 11th place respectively. It appears that the current season is also not showing much promise for them. Their shaky start in the 2023-24 campaign is evident in their results, as they have accumulated 15 points in the first 10 matches, consisting of four wins, four draws, and two losses.

In contrast to their opponents on Saturday, Burton Albion had the chance to compete in the Championship. However, following their demotion from the second division of English football in the 2017-18 season, the team known as the Yellow and Black Army not only found themselves far from reaching the playoffs or having any prospects of promotion, but they have also been dangerously close to relegation for the past three seasons. Despite strengthening their team during the summer transfer window, the Brewers have been unable to achieve their desired results at the beginning of their new League One campaign. This is evident in their current total of 13 points from 12 matches, which puts them five points clear of the relegation zone.

Lincoln City vs Burton Albion Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)

Despite being on the road, Burton has all the necessary elements to worsen Lincoln’s performance and leave with a sense of satisfaction after their clash on Saturday. Lincoln’s lack of motivation is evident as they have only managed to win one out of their last six League One matches, including the abandoned game against Leyton Orient where they were losing 0-1. On the other hand, Burton has managed to overcome a slow start to the season and has experienced a notable improvement in form, remaining undefeated in their last six matches (winning four and drawing two).

Considering that 11 of their total 13 points this season have come in the last five rounds, it’s evident that the Brewers are brimming with confidence, and they will be ready to deliver another promising performance when they pay a visit to Lincoln, a rival they have bested in each of their last three encounters. Although the Imps will make an effort to exploit their home-field advantage and regain momentum, it appears they could be outmuscled by the sturdy Burton team. Therefore, our expectation is that the Yellow and Black Army will secure at least a point when they visit Sincil Bank.
