About This Event
In the upcoming match between Watford FC and Lincoln City FC, scheduled for November 3, 2026 at 2:45 PM ET: This market will resolve to "Watford FC" if Watford FC are the first to score within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. This market will resolve to "Lincoln City FC" if Lincoln City FC are the first to score within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. If neither team scores within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time, this market will resolve "Neither". If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed. If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve to "Neither". This market refers only to the outcome within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are excluded. The primary resolution source for this market is the official statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers. However, if the governing body or event organizers have not published final match statistics within 2 hours after the event's conclusion, data from Flashscore may be used; if Flashscore data is unavailable, data from Sofascore may be used; if neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead. All markets will settle based on the official final result as recognized by the governing body or event organizers. Revisions to officially declared final scores made after market resolution will not be accounted for in determining the outcome. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours of the event's conclusion, this market will resolve 50-50, or to "Draw" where applicable.

What the contract measures
The saved event covers the Watford FC vs. Lincoln City FC match, which the provider describes as "scheduled for November 3, 2026 at 2:45 PM ET" [1]. Three binary markets come from this single Polymarket event. One asks whether Watford will score first, one asks whether Lincoln City will score first, and one asks whether neither team will score first [1].
The wording differs in ways that matter for reading the prices. The first two markets name a team, while the third is phrased as "Neither team to score first?" [1]. The rules state that the market "will resolve to 'Neither' if neither team scores within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time" and that "Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are excluded" [1]. The rules also say that if the game is postponed, "this market will remain open until the game has been completed," and that a cancellation with no make-up game resolves to "Neither" [1]. The listed end time is 2026-11-03T19:45:00.000Z [1].
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-22T00:00:05.980Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-22T04:32:23.412Z [1]. These are the times for this saved record. They do not show live prices now, and the snapshot should not be treated as current.
In this snapshot, each market lists a Yes price of 0.485 and a No price of 0.515 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The identical figures across all three markets are reported as recorded and this report does not explain them. Because the three markets ask different questions, their prices should not be combined or treated as a single probability distribution.
Coverage is complete for this saved event: three of three markets are included and the sample is not marked partial [1]. The sample warning still applies. It states that the included markets "does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. The sample also covers only one platform, so no cross-platform comparison is possible here.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not include live pricing, trading volume, liquidity, or the number of traders. Volume is not a measure of liquidity or participant count, and none is reported here.
Resolution depends on the sources listed in the rules. Official statistics are primary, with Flashscore, Sofascore, and consensus reporting as fallbacks if final statistics are not published within two hours of the event's conclusion [1]. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours, the market "will resolve 50-50, or to 'Draw' where applicable" [1]. Whether the match is played as scheduled is not established by this evidence.

Saved Oct 22, 2026 UTCOverview
This PredictPedia entry covers a market on which team scores first in a scheduled match between Watford FC and Lincoln City FC. The contract is listed on Polymarket, and its rules state that the match is scheduled for November 3, 2026 at 2:45 PM ET [1]. Because the match is a future fixture, the contract's status reflects the time of the saved record and not the outcome of the game. The contract is tied only to the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs are excluded [1]. If one team scores first in that window, the market resolves to that team. If neither team scores in that window, the market resolves to "Neither" [1]. The rules also address unusual situations. If the match is postponed, the market stays open until the game is completed. If the match is canceled entirely with no make-up game, the market resolves to "Neither" [1]. The primary resolution source is the official statistics recognized by the governing body or event organizers. If those are not published within 2 hours after the event ends, data from Flashscore may be used. If Flashscore is unavailable, Sofascore may be used. If neither is available, a consensus of credible reporting may be used [1]. If no acceptable data is available within 24 hours of the event's conclusion, the market resolves 50-50, or to "Draw" where that option applies [1]. Revisions to final scores made after resolution are not counted [1]. The saved record lists three separate markets under the same event: whether Watford FC scores first, whether Lincoln City FC scores first, and whether neither team scores first [1]. Each is a separate contract with its own Yes and No prices. These prices are snapshots from the saved record. They are not executable quotes or verified probabilities, and a higher or lower price does not show how likely an outcome is.
Historical Context
Lincoln City's 2026-27 season is described as the club's 143rd season in its history. It is also described as their first season in the Championship after promotion from League One the previous season. The club is listed as competing in the Championship, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup [2]. This describes the club's season context, not the specific match result, and the source does not describe Watford's history or its 2026-27 season.
Why It Matters
The contract measures which team, if either, scores first in the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time of the scheduled match [1]. It is useful for understanding how a first-goal market is defined, especially the treatment of extra time, shoot-outs, postponement, cancellation, and the fallback data sources used for settlement [1]. Readers should separate the contract rules from the match outcome, which has not been reported in the supplied evidence.
