Lincoln Red Imps vs Vikingur Prediction: Red-hot hosts to continue perfect run?
Key stats
- Lincoln have won each of their last eight matches.
- Seven of Lincoln’s last 10 home games have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Vikingur have scored in each of their last seven away fixtures.
Correct score prediction: Lincoln 3-1 Vikingur
Lincoln have scored at least three goals in six of their last 10 outings, and while they have also kept the same number of clean sheets during that run, the fact that Vikingur have found the net in their last seven away matches suggests the visitors could still pose a threat to the hosts’ defensive record.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bookmakers offer value for the in-form hosts
- HOME: 19/20 (1.95) – 51.3%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
For a team on an eight-match winning streak, Lincoln’s odds of 1.95 may seem generous, but considering they hold a narrow lead and might adopt a more cautious approach, the 51.3 percent win probability appears reasonable.
Vikingur face the challenge of overturning a deficit against a side in excellent form, although Lincoln did recently suffer a rare setback at Victoria Stadium, losing 2-1 to Lions Gibraltar, a result that will give the visitors some encouragement.
The visitors have enjoyed a strong spell on the road, winning five of their last seven away matches, so their 28.6 percent win probability does not seem out of reach.

Player to watch: Bernardo Lopes
Bernardo Lopes was instrumental in the first leg, scoring twice from midfield, and he will carry plenty of confidence into the return fixture as he looks to pull the strings for Lincoln once again.
