Lincoln City form and stats
Lincoln City have played three League One home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Lincoln faced defeat in their previous match, away at Cambridge United (0-2). Attacking player Bishop edged out all the other footballers in that fixture and was awarded a match rating of 7.31 out of 10. Bishop dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 26 successful passes (of 32 total).
Before that one, a nice away win at Barnsley. A EFL Trophy game.
Lincoln City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Lincoln have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Derby County form and stats
The League One season is young and Derby County have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.
Derby County failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Plymouth Argyle (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 2-3. That loss was their first after four consecutive league matches winning points. A huge disappointment for Derby County in their last match (vs Plymouth Argyle). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Midfield player Bird was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.61/10. Bird served one assist, hit two key passes and had 38 successful passes (of 46 total).
Before that game, the win at home hosting Grimsby Town in the EFL Trophy (3-1).
County are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
