The Den prepares for an intriguing Championship clash on October 17, 2026, as Millwall host Lincoln. The Lions arrive in formidable shape, boasting a 52% win rate this season with 24 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses, scoring 64 goals while conceding 49. Their recent form is particularly impressive, remaining unbeaten in their last five outings with three wins and two draws, suggesting a team brimming with confidence and looking to solidify their league position.
In stark contrast, Lincoln's Championship campaign has endured a nightmare start. Their solitary recorded fixture resulted in a 2-1 defeat, leaving them with a 0% win rate and just one goal scored against two conceded. This fixture represents a significant challenge for the visitors, who will be desperate to register their first points of the season. Despite Millwall's superior form, the bookmakers oddly anticipate a tight affair, with a surprising 45% draw probability and an identical 45% chance for an away win, compared to just 10% for the hosts. This suggests a potential upset could be on the cards, or perhaps a reflection of Millwall's historical tendency to struggle against perceived underdogs. All eyes will be on whether Millwall can maintain their impressive run or if Lincoln can defy the odds and kickstart their season.
