Lincoln City form and stats

Lincoln City have played 6 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Lincoln City last time playing, versus Charlton Athletic. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Regan Poole scoring for the victors. Some amazing scenes last match, when Regan Poole scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time. Chris Maguire, an attacker, was the declared top performer for the team in that fixture, scoring a rating of 8.02 (out of 10). Maguire served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 32 successful passes (of 40 total).

Preceding that match was a EFL Trophy defeat to Sunderland (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Lincoln 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 ten games. Lincoln City has won eight of these, drawn one and lost one.

There will be little rest for Lincoln after this match as they are travelling to Sheffield Wednesday for a League One game in only four days.

Lincoln are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Lincoln have conceded 7 in these home matches.

AFC Wimbledon form and stats

As the visiting team in League One matches, AFC Wimbledon have produced an overall stat of 2-1-3 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Wimbledon are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Wimbledon played 2-2 against Sheffield Wednesday in their previous match. The match against Sheffield Wednesday looked like a defeat for Wimbledon, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. Jack Rudoni equalized in the 85th minute. Nik Tzanev had red hot gloves after the game against Sheffield Wednesday, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made. Goalkeeper Nik Tzanev got the top player rating of the team with 7.45/10. Tzanev stopped the opponent with six saves.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Burton Albion.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wimbledon playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were five AFC Wimbledon wins, three draws and three defeats.

A new game in only four days for Wimbledon, the League One home match versus Wigan Athletic. Busy days.
