Match Facts
Bolton were one of just sides to avoid defeat to Lincoln City in the 2025-26 League One campaign (D2 – also Huddersfield Town), though they are winless in three against the Imps (D2 L1) since a 3-0 home win in December 2024.
Lincoln City are winless in each of their last seven away league games against Bolton Wanderers (D2 L5), since a 2-0 win in February 1984 in the third tier.
Bolton beat Preston 2-1 in their opening and are looking to win their opening two home league games of a second-tier campaign for the first time since 1996-97.
After losing their opening two league games this season, Lincoln will be looking to avoid losing their opening three fixtures of a league campaign for the first time since 2008-09 in the fourth tier.
Bolton manager Steven Schumacher has never won a league game against Lincoln City in six previous attempts (D3 L3) – they are the only side he has faced more than three time without ever winning.
