Reasoning

All four competitive matches involving these sides this season have seen both teams score, with Blackpool netting in a 2-1 away win and a 1-1 home draw, while Lincoln scored in 1-3 and 1-2 defeats. Blackpool’s lengthy injury list, including several first-team players who missed the final pre-season test, could weaken their defence and make them more susceptible to conceding. Lincoln are a division higher but have shipped goals in each of their Championship outings, suggesting they too are vulnerable. The League Cup often encourages open play, making a repeat of both teams scoring plausible despite the tiny sample.
