A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter

Lincoln City v Exeter City
Football : England: League One
Venue: Sincil Bank
Saturday 4th October 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)

---

Lincoln City made it back-to-back wins in midweek as The Imps swept aside Manchester United U21’s with a 3-0 home win in the EFL Trophy which followed last weekend’s comprehensive 3-0 win away from home at Peterborough United, so the hosts will feel confident about their chances when they entertain Exeter City at Sincil Bank this Saturday.

Indeed, Lincoln City have been dealt just one defeat in their last 13 matches in all competitions under manager Michael Skubala whilst the hosts have registered no fewer than nine wins in the process which has helped The Imps up into 3rd place in the League One table.

In addition, Lincoln City still remain undefeated on home soil in this season’s League One campaign with a home record which stands at a solid looking 3-2-0 11/6.

Exeter City meanwhile occupy a lowly 18th place in the League One standings ahead of this weekend’s third tier action having picked up three wins but also slipping to seven defeats within their opening 10 games of this campaign.

The west country visitors have slumped to five defeats on the trot in all competitions which consists of a 1-0 loss at home to Cardiff City in the EFL Cup but also league defeats by Rotherham United, Port Vale, Stevenage and Huddersfield Town respectively.

Having managed just one away win all season to date amidst an overall poor away record of 1-0-4 2/6, The Grecians look to have a mountain to climb at Sincil Bank against an in-form and confident Lincoln City outfit this Saturday.

The Betting Verdict

Lincoln City have lost just once in their last eight meetings against Exeter City but back the hosts with the handicap in this one as five of the previous eight meetings have resulted in a draw.

Lincoln City 2-1 Exeter City
