Burnley desperately need points on Tuesday, Dec 29 at 8:45 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Burnley come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Lincoln City, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Burnley and Lincoln City have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (0W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Lincoln City won 1–0.

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