Lincoln City form and stats

2-10-0 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Lincoln City so far this season. Three draws in a row here at LNER Stadium for Lincoln City, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

Lincoln City drew their last game, 0-0 away at Milton Keynes Dons (placed 22nd). Boyes, defender, was given a rating of 7.65/10 in that game, top of the team. Boyes won 4 of 6 duels.

A 2-2 result against Accrington Stanley (after extra-time, 1-3 on penalties) before that, played at home in the EFL Trophy. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lincoln have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 3 and lost 6.

Low on goals? Looking at this club's last 16 league matches, 13 have seen zero, one or two goals.

Lincoln City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 12 games. From these home matches, Lincoln City have conceded only 10 goals.

Burton Albion form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burton Albion so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose).

The attacking players of Burton have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 181 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Burton Albion in their previous game as they lost hosting Shrewsbury Town, 0-4. Burton Albion lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Taylor got a match rating of 7.0 in that game, top player of the team. Taylor hit one key pass.

A loss, in the FA Cup away at Grimsby Town, before that. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Burton playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 3 Burton Albion wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Burton Albion are hosting Peterborough United in the League One only three days away.

The visiting Burton Albion have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 18 goals from 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Burton manager Maamria has some worries about the defense as 31 goals have been conceded in these travels.
