Lincoln City form and stats

When playing at home in the League One, Lincoln City have managed 4 wins, 13 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 18 games.

The Lincoln City manager Kennedy and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Sheffield Wednesday (placed 1st).

Heartbreak before that as Lincoln lost 1-2 at Fleetwood Town's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lincoln City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lincoln City as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Lincoln City has won 3 of these, drawn 4 and lost 6.

Not much happening? Looking at this club's last 29 league games, 22 have seen zero, one or two goals.

The manager Kennedy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Plymouth Argyle in only three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Lincoln City here at LNER Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 18 games). From these home matches, Lincoln have conceded only 14 goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Cheltenham are hosting Ipswich Town in the League One only three days away.
