Lincoln vs Reading: Top free betting tips
Can the Imps inflict more pain on the Royals? Our Lincoln vs Reading prediction is for a home win.
This will be the first official match between the teams this century. They last met in 1999. Lincoln remain in touch with the top 6 and their recent form has been good. The Imps went unbeaten in the last 4 rounds (W2 D2). Reading on the other hand are in serious trouble and need points badly. The Royals had been decent at home so far but on the road, they lost 8 of their 9 league games.
Correct outcome prediction: Lincoln to win
We back the Imps for the win with our first Lincoln vs Reading prediction. Lincoln come into this match unbeaten in their last 4 league outings (W2 D2). At the same time, Reading have the worst away record in the entire division – W1 D0 L8.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes: Yes
Reading might be awful defensively but they certainly know how to score goals. All of Reading’s last 12 games had BTTS outcomes. The Royals also saw all of their last 7 away matches go without a clean sheet for either team involved. That’s why with our second Lincoln vs Reading prediction we back both sides to find the back of the net.
Correct score prediction: 3-1 to Lincoln
Our final Lincoln vs Reading prediction is a natural continuation of our first two free betting tips. We back Lincoln to win 3-1. This was the final scoreline in 2 of Reading’s last 3 away defeats. The Royals conceded at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 6 away matches. Lincoln’s last home win was a 3-1 triumph.

How far will Reading's fans travel to Lincoln?
For those away fans planning to make the trip, we advise an early start. Visiting the famous Lincoln Cathedral and trying to find the famous stone-carved Imp could be a great activity before kick-off time.
By car or coach, the journey should take around 3 hours 35 minutes and the distance is 158 miles (254km).
