In a surprising turn of events in the English League One, Lincoln City defeated Reading 1-0 at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. The lone goal came from James Collins in the 65th minute, securing a valuable away win for Lincoln City. Despite Reading dominating possession with 62.4% and having more shots (14 to Lincoln City's 11), they struggled to convert their chances, managing only 2 shots on target compared to Lincoln City's 5. The game was physical, with Lincoln City committing 19 fouls to Reading's 12, and both teams received 4 yellow cards each. The AI had predicted a Reading win before the game, with a 44.1% probability, making this result an upset.
Reading's recent form has been inconsistent with 2 wins, 1 loss and 2 draw in the last 5 games, while Lincoln City have been drawing many games, with one win, one loss and 3 draws in the last 5 games. This win breaks Lincoln City's streak of draws and losses and could provide momentum for their upcoming match against Bolton Wanderers. Reading will be looking to bounce back in their next game against Bristol Rovers, a team that has lost their last five matches. Reading's inability to capitalize on possession and create clear-cut chances, as seen in this match, has been a recurring theme in some of their recent games, suggesting a need for improvement in their attacking efficiency. Lincoln City, on the other hand, displayed resilience and defensive solidity, characteristics they'll need to maintain in their next match against Bolton. In the last head-to-head match in December, Lincoln City defeated Reading 2-0.
