The goal timing numbers for both sides point the same way: the 76-90 minute period is when Lincoln City score the most (25%) and concede the most (24%), while Blackburn Rovers also score the most in the same period (24%) and concede the most too (25%) — this game is likely to open up more in the late stages than early on, when both sides score less (Lincoln City score 11% in the 1-15 minute period, Blackburn Rovers score 15% in the 1-15 minute period). The home side's last 5 matches show 3 wins and 2 losses, but the scorelines of 2-1, 4-1, 1-0 suggest the defence is still not settled. Blackburn Rovers have lost 2 in a row (1-2, 1-2), but before that won 2 (2-1, 2-1) and drew 2-2 — both sides are inconsistent, so this game is likely to end with a narrow margin, and the system's angle giving Blackburn Rovers a 0.25 handicap still stands on the fact that the home side have just lost 2 of their 3 league games this season (scored 3, conceded 5), while the away side have picked up 4 points from 3 games (scored 5, conceded 5), but 3 games of data is still too little to draw firm conclusions.
