Lincoln City vs Wigan Predictions

• Wigan could move five points clear at the top with a win here.
• Lincoln are just nine points clear of the relegation zone.
• Wigan have scored 11 goals in their last five games.

Wigan on the up

Wigan will travel to Lincoln on Saturday, hoping to keep their title push alive. The Latics are currently top with 83 points, and at least one game in hand over most of the division, so a win here would keep their challengers at arm’s length.

Unbeaten in their last seven, and having lost only six all season, Wigan should breeze past eighteenth-placed Lincoln, who have only won once in their last six.

Escaping the drop

At the other end of the table, Lincoln have managed to pull themselves slightly clear of the drop, currently sitting nine points above Gillingham who occupy the final relegation spot as things stand.

It’s difficult to see the Imps losing this nine point gap on their relegation rivals, although they will still have to be alert to the danger.

Something’s got to give

Wigan have been in fantastic goal scoring form as of late, scoring eleven in their last five, and are the second top scorers in the division.

Lincoln, meanwhile, don’t typically lose by a lot, having lost by two or more goals only seven times this season, from the nineteen they’ve lost in total. Wigan’s goalscoring form combined with Lincoln’s determined style would suggest there will be goals on both here, so to predict over 2.5 goals could be a good option.
