Tuesday Night Lights Up at LNER Stadium: Lincoln vs Barnsley Preview

The stage is set for a thrilling League One encounter at the LNER Stadium as Lincoln City hosts Barnsley in a midweek showdown. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:45 GMT on December 9,2025.

Lincoln City will look to build momentum following recent performances that suggest a home win is on the cards. With odds favoring them and past results against Barnsley showing promise - notably a 2-0 triumph in the EFL Trophy just last month - Impetus is with them.

However history shows this fixture can be a real humdinger. Only a few months ago these teams produced a 7 goal thriller with Barnsley edging it. The Tykes have also had their moments against Lincoln - back in August they won at the LNER stadium.

Tactically speaking both teams will look to capitalise on their opponent shortcomings. For Barnsley stifling Lincoln’s attack will be key and for the home team - finding away to brech the vistors defense which has been sturdy of late will be the challenge.

The bookies have Lincoln as slight favretes but only just. The home side has nearly a 40 percent win probabilty while the vistors hang onto a 30 percent chance of taking all three points. The draw is alse a vivid posibility with both teams evenly mached.

Anticpating a low goalscoring affar - under 2.5 goals for both teams is the exspectation going into this one.

This tuesday will write another chaper in a long and winding story of these two League One opponents. Will Lincoln take the points or will Barnsley spoil the party at LNER Stadium?
