Lincoln vs Birmingham Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026

Birmingham City, by contrast, are sitting comfortably in the upper part of the table and have won three of their last five matches with only one defeat. Both clubs have promotion as their motivation, but for Lincoln City that target still looks a long way off - they are well adrift of the automatic promotion places. Birmingham City retain more realistic chances of moving up.

Head-to-head statistics Lincoln - Birmingham
Lincoln City: defensive problems
Lincoln City's most recent Championship home match saw them beat Burnley 4-1. After a level first half at 1-1, the hosts scored three more times; they outshot their opponents 21-8, though the expected goals figures were almost even at 2.32 to 2.23.
Lincoln City have had a difficult few weeks, with just one win from their last five matches alongside three defeats and a draw. At home, they are averaging 1.08 goals scored and 1.67 conceded, and over their last ten matches they have won only three times while conceding close to two goals per game - pointing to problems at the back. There is no consistency in attack either, with an average of just over one goal scored per match indicating a low conversion rate. Their motivation in terms of the table is limited: they are eight points off the nearest target zone, so the pressure to get a result right now is minimal.

Birmingham City: High-Scoring Form
Birmingham City's last Championship match ended in a 1-0 away defeat to Cardiff. The visitors managed seven shots to their opponents' 16, with two of those on target.
Birmingham City have looked noticeably more balanced: five wins and two defeats in their last ten matches, with solid scoring numbers - averaging 1.8 goals scored and exactly one conceded per game over that same run. Over the last five fixtures they have built momentum with three consecutive wins following a brief winless spell, which gives the visitors added confidence heading into the next league round. Birmingham City are close to the automatic promotion places and have strong motivation, sitting just three points off their target.

Match Result Prediction
Birmingham City have gone unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 Championship matches. This season they have lost twice in 12 matches, and have won three of their six away games. Lincoln City have won just one of their six home matches this season. We're going with Double Chance - Birmingham City at odds of 1.3*.
Corners Prediction
Lincoln City have had fewer than 3.5 corners in five consecutive league matches. On top of that, they have not reached 5.5 corners in eight of their last nine home matches. The home run relates to a higher line and therefore serves only as additional context. We're backing Lincoln City Team Total Corners - Under 3.5 at odds of 2.18*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Lincoln City have scored in 18 of their last 20 home matches and conceded in seven of their last eight. Over their last ten home matches, they average 1.2 goals scored, while Birmingham City average 1.2 goals scored in their last ten away matches. However, Birmingham City concede just 0.83 goals per away match this season, which reduces confidence in a Lincoln City goal. The pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.75*.
Reliable Bet
Lincoln City have covered the handicap (+1.5) in 18 of their last 20 home matches. Birmingham City have averaged 1.2 goals per game in their last ten away fixtures, which also gives little indication of frequent big away wins. The bet also allows for a draw or a one-goal away victory. We're going with Lincoln City Handicap +1.5 at odds of 1.23*.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Matches involving Lincoln City have been consistently high-scoring: Total Goals - Over 2.5 has landed five times in a row according to the current Championship season trend. The hosts' defence concedes regularly, while the visitors' attack is highly effective even away from home - supported by Birmingham City's average of close to two goals per game over a long stretch of the season. The absence of any serious pressure from a table-standing perspective for Lincoln City reduces the team's caution, which further points towards an open match with chances at both ends. The main prediction is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 1-2.
