Match Preview
Burton Albion welcome Lincoln City to the Pirelli Stadium for their Carabao Cup clash on Tuesday evening. The hosts have struggled for form lately, managing just two draws and three losses in their last five matches. In contrast, Lincoln City are riding high with four wins from their last five games, showcasing a potent attacking threat. This disparity in form could play a significant role in the outcome of the match. Historically, Lincoln have dominated this fixture, winning eight of the last ten encounters, which could instill confidence in their squad. Given Burton's defensive vulnerabilities—evident from their recent results—there's a strong likelihood that both teams could find the net. The odds for both teams to score sit at 1.7, suggesting bookmakers expect an open match. With Lincoln's current momentum and Burton's need to improve, this fixture promises to be an intriguing contest, potentially leading to a high-scoring affair.
