Burnley vs Lincoln: match facts, form and head-to-head – 29 December 2026

Burnley host a struggling Lincoln side in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the lower reaches of the table. The Clarets sit 24th with just three points from seven games – all draws and no wins, and a leaky defence that has conceded 16 while scoring only eight. Lincoln, meanwhile, sit 16th on eight points, having secured two victories and two draws but also tasting defeat twice, their goal difference a modest –1 (five for, six against). With Burnley desperate to snap a run of four losses and Lincoln looking to consolidate a mid‑table push, the encounter could prove decisive for both campaigns.
