Lincoln City made it two wins in a week with a 1-0 away victory over Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium on January 31, 2026. The only goal of a tight match came in the 65th minute, a cool finish from Lincoln's striker after a defensive mix-up in the Wigan backline. The Imps then defended their lead superbly, absorbing pressure and limiting Wigan to half-chances. The home side's frustration grew as they failed to break down a disciplined Lincoln defense, with their best effort sailing just over the bar in the final minutes. This result solidified Lincoln's status as genuine promotion contenders, showcasing their ability to grind out results on the road, while Wigan's inconsistent home form continued to hinder their progress.
