Read on for my Chesham United vs Lincoln City predictions - including the latest odds and team news.

Chesham United vs Lincoln City Odds

The hosts are rank outsiders at 9/1 to win in 90 minutes, with Lincoln as short as 1/4 to prevail and the draw priced at 9/2.

Over 3.5 goals at The Meadow is 1/1, with both teams to score rated a 4/5 chance. Lincoln are 7/10 to overcome a one-goal handicap.

Team News

Chesham joint-bosses Michael Murray and James Duncan were thrilled in the summer to land long-time target Nathan Minhas and he's set to lead the attacking line for the home side.

At the other end, Connor Stevens, Callum Adebiyi, Steve Brown and Alexander Lafleur are the probable starters in a back four for the Generals.

Lincoln City have some injury worries, with Adam Jackson, Dylan Duffy, Tom Bayliss and Tyler Walker expected to miss out and Ethan Erhahon to be assessed late.

Tom Hamer went off injured last time against Northampton and is another due a late check, with Lewis Montsma waiting in the wings.

Lincoln to win and both teams to score @ 6/4

Lincoln are worthy favourites and should win this one well but the hosts can have their moments and may get on the scoresheet.

Chesham's recent wins in the league have come via a 3-1 home win against Chippenham Town and a 3-2 away success at Enfield Town, so they are in scoring form.

Both teams have scored in four of Lincoln's last five games and Michael Skubala's side haven't managed a clean sheet in any of their last seven.

Chesham have netted seven FA Cup goals in coming through three rounds, including a replay. They have, however, conceded 20 goals in 13 National League South games and may come unstuck against superior opposition in the end with this Lincoln City side being defeated only once in seven games on the road this season.

Lincoln to win 1-3 @ 9/1

Lincoln should come through with clear daylight at the end of the 90 minutes.

There have been at least three goals scored in all of Lincoln's last five League One games, with their two most recent wins coming via a 2-1 scoreline.

Chesham have some threats, notably through summer signing Nathan Minhas who has five goals in 11 games for the Generals. The hosts are unbeaten in five games, scoring 12 times, but they tackle a side three tiers above them in the football pyramid here.

Although Chesham are yet to concede in the FA Cup this season in four games, Lincoln have the quality to alter that stat. Over 3.5 goals at 1/1 is a fair shout but, for some added value, a correct score prediction for a 3-1 away win is suggested.
