Lincoln City desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 23 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Birmingham City come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 2D 0L). Lincoln City travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Birmingham City here — they've won 4 of 4 previous meetings against Lincoln City. Their last encounter ended in Birmingham City won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Birmingham City a slight edge, but Lincoln City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
