Lincoln vs Blackpool Prediction

Howzit my bru! Pajimon here with a lekker tip for the weekend. Grab a cold one and fire up the braai because Lincoln are looking hotter than boerewors on the coals this Saturday afternoon!

These okes are flying high in 2nd place and haven't tasted defeat in their last 10 games. I'm talking seven wins and three draws, scoring 25 goals while only letting in 8. That's tighter than my grip on my beer! They just smashed Northampton 4-0 at home, beat Plymouth 4-1 away, and put five past Peterborough in a 5-2 thriller. Even when they don't win, they hold their own against tough teams like Bolton (1-1) and Huddersfield (1-1).

Now look at Blackpool. Eish, these guys are struggling more than a vegetarian at a steakhouse. Sitting 19th with only 2 wins in their last 10, and they haven't won away from home in their last 5 attempts (0 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses). They just got klapped 4-0 by Plymouth at home and lost to Luton, Stockport, Barnsley, and Bradford in recent weeks. The only wins came against Mansfield (1-0) and Northampton (2-0) at home, but away from home they're leaking goals like a rusty braai grid.

Head-to-head is dead even at 3 wins each with 3 draws, but that last meeting was a 2-2 draw back in December. Since then, Lincoln have been on a completely different level while Blackpool have been sinking faster than a lead sinker in the Vaal River.

Key Points:

• Lincoln are unbeaten in 10 games (7W 3D) with a goal difference of +17

• Blackpool have won just 2 of their last 10 and are winless in 5 away games (0W-2D-3L)

• Lincoln average 2.67 goals per game at home, conceding only 0.83

• Blackpool concede 1.80 goals per game away from home with 0 clean sheets in last 5 away

• Lincoln sit 2nd in League One (68 points), Blackpool are 19th (37 points)

• Lincoln kept 4 clean sheets in their last 10 matches

Summary:

This is a no-brainer, my friends. Lincoln are the real deal and Blackpool can't buy a win on the road. At 1.48, the home win is shorter than a Springbok's temper, but it's pure value when you look at the form book. These boys are going to braai Blackpool's defence on Saturday. Back Lincoln to win and enjoy your weekend!
