Lincoln had over 2.5 goals in two of their last three home matches. Also, three of Reading’s last five away games had over 2.5 goals. So, we expect a match with over 2.5 goals on Saturday.

Lincoln vs Reading Prediction

Lincoln are likely to score two goals against Reading, who conceded 10 goals in their five visits to Lincoln. But we don’t expect a clean sheet for Lincoln, as Reading are scoring often.
