Sheffield Utd vs Lincoln: Lincoln Won 3 of 4 Away

Published Fri 9 Oct

Sheffield Utd host Lincoln in Championship Matchweek 9 on Saturday, 10 October 2026 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, with the visitors carrying three away victories from four league trips into the fixture.

Lincoln boast three wins from four away trips

Lincoln sit 12th in the Championship table with 11 points from eight games, built largely on their traveling efficiency. In four away league matches this season, Lincoln have recorded three wins and one defeat, scoring four goals and conceding only two. Their recent results include a 1-0 away win against Preston on 12 September 2026 and a 1-0 away win against Bristol City on 15 September 2026, though they enter this match after a 2-1 home defeat to Swansea on 19 September 2026. Top scorer Reeco Hackett-Fairchild leads Lincoln with two goals in all competitions, supported by an underlying output of 1.12 expected goals created per game over their last five matches. For this trip, Lincoln travel without three injured players: Mason Melia, Tendayi Darikwa, and Thomas Hamer.

Sheffield Utd enter on a three-match losing run

Sheffield Utd occupy 18th place in the Championship table with nine points from eight matches, scoring nine goals and conceding 11. The home side have lost three matches in succession across all competitions: 0-1 at home against Wolves on 13 September 2026, 0-1 away against Fleetwood Town in the League Cup on 16 September 2026, and 2-1 away against Stoke City on 19 September 2026. At Bramall Lane in the league, Sheffield Utd hold one win, one draw, and two defeats from four outings, with four goals scored and six conceded. Their chance creation has also slowed, generating an average of 0.61 expected goals while allowing 1.46 over their last five matches with data. Patrick Bamford is their top scorer this season with two goals. Squad options remain constrained by injuries, with Sam McCallum and Tyrese Campbell ruled out, while Femi Seriki, Harrison Burrows, and Ryan Oné are listed as doubtful.

Our model expects a Sheffield Utd win

Our model expects a Sheffield Utd win for this Bramall Lane encounter. The projection backs the home side despite their recent three-match losing streak and an output of 0.61 expected goals created a game. Lincoln's away record of three wins from four league games and a defensive concession of only two away goals provide resistance, balanced against Lincoln missing three players through injury.
