Close Encounter in the Eyes of the Bookies

With an approximate 45% chance of succeeding, the bookies are being cautious with their +123 betting odds for Lincoln City triumphing in this League One encounter. Wigan Athletic are the +220 underdogs, while the draw can also be backed as an alternative.

If Lincoln only draw with Wigan, then the Asian Handicap -0.25 wager means you get half your stake back. However, you get a full payout at -116 if they’re able to land a victory.

Under 2.5 Goals is available as the favourite and a bet on this pick means that you don’t want more than two goals to be netted. Punters anticipating that both teams will find the net are able to land -128 for the BTTS Yes option.
