Birmingham are comfortably leading the League 1 standings, with 53 points (two more than their nearest rivals) and two games in hand. The team is currently on a 12-game unbeaten streak in regulation time, and has not lost in ten games in a row in front of local fans, winning eight of them. The club also has the best defensive line in the national championship, with 17 goals conceded.

Lincoln City
Current form
Lincoln is in 12th place in the tournament table, having 32 points. Recently, the game of the guests of the upcoming match in the national championship has not been going well. They do not know victories for four games in a row (three defeats and one draw). Not only do they not win, but they also fail to score in these matches. With such a game, it will be very difficult to provide competent resistance to the leader of the First League, especially playing away, where the team lost the last two matches with a total score of 0:4.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the main players are in the lineup.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lincoln can't win four games in a row
- The visitors did not score a single goal in the winless series.

1.56Tip and bets
We believe that the odds for Birmingham to win are greatly overstated. The team is in good playing form, which cannot be said about the opponent. And in head-to-head encounters, the hosts have always emerged victorious. Considering that Lincoln has been unable to win for four matches, and Birmingham have won eight of their last ten games at home, it seems that the First League leader's statistics will improve, while the mid-table team's will worsen.
Our prediction is Birmingham's victory with odds of 1.65
Bet on total
It is possible that Birmingham will not have their main squad on the field, because it is unrealistic to play well with the same players in several tournaments. That is why we believe that Lincoln will be able to take advantage of this moment and at least score one goal, but it is unlikely that they will be able to keep a clean sheet.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.89
Bet on corners
Birmingham prefer to play open football, but Lincoln will have no choice but to accept the rules of the game, so we'll bet on the fact that the two sides will score a lot of corners between them.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners for 1.74
