Home fans at ProAmpac Stadium will be hoping for another strong performance to help push Lincoln City further up the table as they host Chris Davies’ Birmingham City on Saturday in round 13 of the 2026-27 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts have made a decent start to life back in the second tier of English football after a 65-year absence and will be looking to build on their most recent result.
Lincoln City were in fine form when they welcomed Burnley last weekend, dishing out a 4-1 thrashing to the struggling visitors and delivering the final blow that led to Nicky Hayen’s dismissal as the Clarets’ head coach.
Thanks for the submission!
Although four wins and three draws from 12 games is not the most impressive return, the newly promoted side could finish the coming matchday in the top half of the table with a victory. However, they will need to improve on their previous performances against teams above them in the standings.
After putting together a remarkable run of five wins and five draws from 11 league games, Birmingham hit a stumbling block when they travelled to Wales last weekend, falling to a deserved 1-0 defeat against Cardiff City.
The Blues will be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday to ensure they retain their place in the top eight and will be optimistic about extending their solid away record when they make the trip to the East Midlands.
