Sheffield Utd vs Lincoln Recent Results
Sheffield United are in a real slump, with three straight defeats. That makes four losses in their last five outings in all competitions. The Stoke game summed it up, because the Blades were heading for a positive result before coughing it up late. Bamford leading the line is the obvious hope for a response.
Lincoln City arrive in far better shape. A narrow home loss to new league leaders Swansea ended their bid for a third straight Championship win. Even so, they have lost just one of their last six Championship games. Their style is direct, built on lots of shots, long balls and crosses for Freddie Draper to attack.

Our Prediction
Our Sheffield Utd vs Lincoln prediction is a narrow Sheffield United win in a low-scoring game. The Blades' slump is real, but our numbers still make them the favorite with a 43.8% win probability.

The set-piece battle could decide this one. Attacking set pieces are a real strength for Lincoln, but Sheffield United handle dead balls well, and the visitors are vulnerable defending them at the other end. Chris Cohen has called Chris Wilder's Sheffield United a "top team with a top manager and great players." He also used the three-week international break to bed in his late-summer signings.
