Match Analysis
West Ham have enjoyed a solid away run with two wins and three draws from their last five outings across seasons, whereas Lincoln remain winless at home in their last four matches with just two draws to show for it. Lincoln have found the net in three of their last four home games but have managed only a single clean sheet during that same span. There are two players unavailable for Lincoln and one missing from West Ham's squad ahead of this Championship fixture. West Ham rate stronger on form and attack, while defence is closely matched. The market has remained broadly steady over the 3-day comparison window, with little change in either side's implied win probability. The overall statistical comparison gives West Ham a slight edge.
