Getting nearer the top sides is the subject when these two mid-table sides duel. Both will be targeting to better their league status, Barnsley in 9th and Lincoln City in 15th position.
- Barnsley have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Lincoln City have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Barnsley form and stats
Barnsley have collected 10 points from their League One home games so far after 3-1-2.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 270 minutes without scoring a league goal. Aitchison was the last player to find the net.
Barnsley lost their last game at Morecambe (placed 23rd) after a 0-1 scoreline. Midfield player Cadden got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Cadden hit five key passes.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Bolton Wanderers that finished 0-0.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League One game versus Forest Green Rovers in only four days. This game is also played here at Oakwell Stadium.
Barnsley has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. 7 goals have been conceded.
Lincoln City form and stats

Lincoln's last game was the home draw against Sheffield Wednesday (1-1). O’Connor, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.1. O’Connor won 6 of 8 duels.
A home victory as predicted against Newcastle United U21 before that, in the EFL Trophy. Looking at the earlier recent performances of Lincoln City when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 2 times, drawing 1 and winning 1 game.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Port Vale.
