Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We predict there's very little chance of a bore-draw or a slim 1-0 win here, and instead are predicting over 1.5 goals. That means that Lincoln and Southampton will score at least a couple of between them during 90 minutes. It's a tip based on the recent form of the respective sides, as well as their historic head-to-heads. We give it a probability of 79%. The bookies have it available at 1.25.
