Lincoln vs Peterborough Prediction & Betting Tips

We cover the essential Lincoln vs Peterborough betting angles, featuring our main match prediction, correct score pick, top player prop plays and a carefully crafted bet builder.

Match Prediction

We don’t think the net will bulge too many times in this League One game. For this reason, we’re backing Under 2.5 Goals and this selection is attractively priced at -116.

The first step involves analysing the form and also getting an idea of the injury situation before making any football picks. Then it’s a case of consulting the latest League One stats and seeing if they can inform our opinion.

Key Lincoln vs Peterborough league stats:

• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in 11 of the last 20 Lincoln games at home.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 2 Lincoln games.
• The 2.5 line hasn’t been covered in the last 4 Peterborough games.

According to the latest odds, our pick has a 53.8% chance of winning. In our opinion, there’s actually a probability of success closer to 60%. It is therefore regarded as a value wager.

If you’re in search of a larger price and anticipate things being tight, then it might be worth looking at Under 1.5 Goals, with less than two goals needing to be scored overall.
