Lincoln City, Birmingham City set for Championship clash

Lincoln City host Birmingham City in a Championship match with both sides looking to respond to their latest results. Lincoln, 15th, are aiming to build on a 4-1 win over Burnley, while seventh-placed Birmingham seek a rebound after losing 1-0 to Cardiff and arrive with three league wins in their previous four. Birmingham’s strong away record and promotion ambitions make them a tough opponent, though a fan prediction panel most commonly backed a narrow 2-1 Lincoln win. Lincoln manager Chris Cohen indicated he expected to make multiple changes, with Freddie Draper available again after suspension and no new injuries reported. The match is scheduled for a 12:30 kickoff and is available live in the UK on Sky Sports+.
