Stats for this game
Matchup Portsmouth VS Lincoln
Portsmouth set the league direction
Portsmouth’s league wins include 3-1 at Lincoln on 22 August 2026, 2-0 there on 27 April 2024, 2-1 at home on 23 September 2023 and 3-2 on 15 April 2022. Lincoln and Portsmouth drew 0-0 at Lincoln on 18 February 2023 and at Portsmouth on 6 August 2022. The results therefore lean Portsmouth, while the draws keep the comparison measured. Those two goalless scores provide a direct counterweight to the decisive results.
Draws leave room for Lincoln
Portsmouth have the clearer direction across the Championship and League One scores, but Lincoln shared points in different settings. That counterpoint prevents a simple one-way reading, even with Portsmouth’s wins. Portsmouth’s wins are not enough to erase those shared points, so the league balance remains clear but not absolute. A future Championship encounter will ask whether Portsmouth can retain their edge or Lincoln can turn another close meeting into a different balance.
