• There is a clear but slim favourite here. Preston is the shortest price on a book of 2.25 / 3.40 / 3.00 (1 / X / 2), an implied 41.5%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 41.5% / 27.4% / 31.1% on an overround of 7.2%.

• The draw is unusually well backed at 3.40 (27.4%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.

• In the league table Preston sit 24th on 3 points (1W 0D 5L) with Lincoln City 19th on 5 points (1W 2D 2L).

• Preston read L-W-L-L-L-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 0D 5L) — a badly out of sorts side.

• Lincoln City read D-D-W-L-L-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (1W 2D 3L) — more bad than good.

• Preston lean hardest on Daniel Iversen (9.5), Harry Clarke (8.9), Alfie Devine (8.9) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

• The read: Preston at 2.25 is the side the market is with, and nothing in the data above argues against it.
