Millwall vs Lincoln: Lineups, Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds

Millwall vs Lincoln Match Summary

Millwall host Lincoln in a Championship lunchtime fixture at The Den, and the Millwall vs Lincoln betting odds have picked a side, with the Lions 8/11 with Bet365.

Alex Neil's side sit 11th in the table, but they arrive smarting after a late Swansea winner in midweek robbed them of a point and a clean sheet.

Lincoln arrive as reigning League One champions, but the Imps are reeling. Their last outing was a 6-0 home hammering by West Ham, and the defensive cracks are hard to ignore.

Millwall want to kick on from mid-table, while 18th-placed Lincoln badly need to stop the rot, and that gap in confidence drives our Millwall vs Lincoln prediction.

Millwall vs Lincoln Form

Millwall have won just one of their last six in all competitions, so this is hardly a side in full flow. The goals have not dried up, mind. Lyndon Dykes has a goal or an assist in four of his last six league outings, and Camiel Neghli has been chipping in with goals from the left as well.

Lincoln have lost their last three Championship matches, and the defence has been shipping goals at a worrying rate. Away from home they have been sturdier, winning three of their five league trips, so they are not a lost cause on the road. Freddie Draper leads the line, but the Imps need more than graft right now.

Millwall

Taïryk Arconte missed the Swansea game with an ankle injury and remains doubtful, while Luongo is unfit and a lengthy injury list is stretching the squad. Alex Neil could recall Luke Cundle and Tristan Crama, a boost that shapes the Millwall vs Lincoln lineups.

Lincoln

Tom Hamer and Conor McGrandles are both suspended for the trip to The Den, which is a real dent in the spine of the side. Ivan Varfolomeev's withdrawal against West Ham was down to cramp rather than injury, and Rob Street, Andrei Coubis and Ryley Towler are among those likely to be recalled.

Millwall vs Lincoln Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: Millwall 1-0 Lincoln. The Lions have more quality in the final third, while Lincoln are without Hamer and McGrandles through suspension and have a habit of wasting what they create, so a home win with a clean sheet is the call. The projections agree, putting Millwall's win probability at 57.5%.

Best Bets

Both Teams To Score: No. Millwall's home side is projected to outscore a Lincoln attack that has struggled to finish its chances. Lincoln's projected goal tally sits at just 0.79, and finishing is one of the clearest weak spots in their game. Back the Lions to keep a stubborn back line intact.

Millwall to win in the Win Market. They are the model's clear favourites at home against a Lincoln side on a three-game losing run. Lincoln have lost their last three Championship games and are leaking goals, which makes the home side the anchor of our Millwall vs Lincoln best bets. The price is not so short that it isn't worth backing.

Millwall vs Lincoln Bet Builder

Our Millwall vs Lincoln bet builder tips combine a Derek Mazou-Sacko card, a Camiel Neghli shot on target, and overs in both the goals and corners markets.

Derek Mazou-Sacko to be shown a card. The midfielder has picked up a booking in three of his last four Championship appearances, and Lincoln's aggressive style should keep him busy in the engine room.

Camiel Neghli over 0.5 shots on target. He has found the target regularly of late, doing so five times across his last six Championship outings, and Lincoln struggle against skilful attackers.

Over 2.5 goals. This leg needs Millwall's attack to cut loose, and it has landed in 7 of their last 9 matches. Lincoln's leaky defence makes it a reasonable ask.

Over 13.5 corners. Lincoln have seen this line clear in 3 of their last 5 matches, and both sides love to cross, which tends to bring plenty of flag kicks.

At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 55/1 and is as short as 40/1 elsewhere.

Millwall vs Lincoln Talking Points

Set pieces could settle this. Millwall rate highly for attacking set pieces and aerial duels, while defending set pieces is one of Lincoln's biggest weaknesses, so Dykes will fancy it every time the ball goes dead in the final third. The caveat is that Alex Neil's side are not watertight at The Den, having shipped six goals in their home Championship fixtures this season. Joint head coaches Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw will know a direct, messy afternoon gives the Imps their best route back into form.
