What to expect
We expect about 1.6 goals from Bolton and 1.1 from Lincoln, so Bolton come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Lincoln come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.6-1.2), and we make both teams to score about 57%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.
We put the chance of that landing at about 57 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.81, which works out at about 55 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.
One thing to watch
One well-drilled defence, or a game that turns one-sided, and this is gone. We make it about 57% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
