Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Lincoln City in 15th and Blackpool in 13th place.
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.
