This is a Championship meeting between Lincoln City and Blackburn Rovers. CheckLive's data strongly favours the home side, with Lincoln given a 79% win probability on a high-confidence signal. League points are on the line, so Lincoln will be expected to push for the win, but Blackburn are capable of making it awkward.
Lincoln's recent form has been mixed: they beat Blackpool 4-1 in the EFL Cup and Derby County 2-1, but lost league games to Portsmouth 1-3 and Middlesbrough 1-2, plus a friendly defeat at Barnsley 0-3. Blackburn have lost to Sheffield United in the cup, but claimed a Championship win over Middlesbrough 2-1, draws with Wolverhampton and Huddersfield, and a cup win at Burton Albion. So both sides arrive with results that cut both ways.
The only previous meeting between these two was a friendly in July 2022, which Blackburn won 1-0, giving the away side a slender head-to-head edge. The key thing to watch is whether Lincoln's attacking form from the cup games can carry into a league match against a Blackburn side that have shown they can dig out results. It's a contest that could easily end level.
