Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 78% chance of Huddersfield and Lincoln no more than 3 goals combined during this League One game according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the win draw win market, we think that's a great tip here. Calculations are made based on recent form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.29.
