Reasoning

Both Lincoln and Portsmouth found the net in their opening Championship defeats, with Lincoln scoring away at Middlesbrough and Portsmouth at home to QPR. Portsmouth's extensive injury list — including multiple defenders and midfielder Marlon Pack — could weaken their defensive structure, making it more likely Lincoln score at home. Conversely, Lincoln's own defensive vulnerabilities (conceding twice) and the early-season lack of settled backlines suggest both sides are capable of conceding.
