Lincoln City form and stats

The story so far in the League One for Lincoln City at their home stadium (LNER Stadium) is 2 wins, 11 draws and 0 defeats. The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Lincoln has racked up an amazing four draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue?

Lincoln City are confident in defense, having played 318 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Lincoln City are returning here after visiting Accrington Stanley and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Bishop, House and Roughan scored the goal(s). A huge relief, as that was the first league victory after going winless in eight consecutive fixtures. Bishop (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 9.05/10. Bishop scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cambridge United that ended 0-0.

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 as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Lincoln City has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 6.

Low-scoring affair? In this team's last 18 league matches, 14 have contained zero, one or two goals.

There will be little rest for Lincoln City after this match as they are travelling to Derby County for a League One game in only three days.

Lincoln City have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Bristol Rovers form and stats

A 1-5 defeat away at Morecambe before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bristol Rovers playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 8 Bristol Rovers wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Take note! Both sides have scored at least once in 12 of this club's latest 16 league games.
