Exeter City vs Lincoln City Predictions

• Exeter are 11th but sit just three points behind fifth-placed Lincoln
• Three of the last five meetings between these sides have finished 1-1
• Lincoln have drawn three of their last five away fixtures in League One

Play-off hopefuls set to share the spoils

Exeter City may sit 11th in the League One standings, but they are just three points behind fifth-placed Lincoln City as the two teams prepare to lock horns at St James Park on Saturday lunchtime.

Both teams are in decent form, with Exeter having won three on the bounce across all competitions, while Lincoln have registered four wins and a draw from their last five games.

Three of the last five meetings between this pair have finished all-square, including last season’s corresponding fixture in Devon, and another share of the spoils could be on the cards.

Recent history points to 1-1

Exeter’s home form is good, as they have won four of their six League One matches at St James Park this season, although the two they haven’t triumphed in are also the only times they have hosted top-half teams on their own patch.

Lincoln, meanwhile, have only won at struggling Cambridge across their last five road games in the third tier, although they have drawn three times during that run against Peterborough, Blackpool and most recently Bristol Rovers, all of which ended 1-1.

The last three times Exeter and Lincoln have played out a draw it has also finished 1-1 and that could be the standout correct score shout for this clash between two seemingly evenly-matched sides.
