Match summary

Millwall vs Lincoln City opens Matchday 11 in the Championship at The Den on Saturday 17 October 2026, and our model goes for a Millwall win, with either side to win as the double chance, draw excluded.

Why this pick?

Home advantage and Lincoln City's limited recent attacking play are what our model leans on most. Millwall's defence rating is one of the higher ones in the division, while Lincoln's attack rating is among the lowest, which fits a newly promoted side with seven goals in ten games. The clearest point the other way is that Lincoln rate above the Championship average on our long-run, xG-based strength rating, with Millwall only slightly stronger. Millwall's work in front of their own goal and the venue cover that, and the goal model reads the matchup their way. It remains a narrow call.
