Lincoln City vs Stevenage Preview: Predictions, Team News, and Lineups Revealed

Lincoln City will face Stevenage in a crucial League One match this Saturday. Stevenage currently leads the table, but Lincoln is just four points behind.
Match Preview
The match comes after Lincoln’s prior performances, including a narrow defeat to Exeter City. Last week, Lincoln suffered a 1-0 loss at home, a surprising outcome given their previous three-match winning streak. The defeat marked their first home loss of the 2025-26 season.
With the density of the standings, a victory would have propelled Lincoln to second place and could have put them in contention for the top spot. Lincoln’s recent form shows that they are among the better teams at home, as they have the seventh-best home record in the league.
Stevenage’s Strong Performance
Conversely, Stevenage has been in impressive form, accumulating 25 points from 10 matches. The team has secured six wins and one draw in their last seven games, including a recent 2-0 victory over Luton Town. With only eight goals conceded, their solid defense bodes well for their championship ambitions.
Team News
Despite recent setbacks, Lincoln’s manager, Michael Skubala, may retain the same lineup for the upcoming match. Justin Obikwu, the club’s top goalscorer with four goals, is pushing for a starting position; if he plays, James Collins might be the one to sit out.
For Stevenage, Jordan Roberts is likely to return to the starting XI after scoring against Luton Town. Coach Alex Revell prefers consistency, having employed the same five players in every league match this season.
