2nd position in the League One table for Lincoln City so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 16th-placed Fleetwood Town visits LNER Stadium.
- Lincoln City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Fleetwood Town have the most matches under the total-line (21) in League One
It's no vacation for neither Lincoln City nor Fleetwood Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Lincoln City form and stats
Lincoln City have played 15 League One games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-3-5 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Lincoln.
Lincoln faced defeat in their previous match, away at Plymouth Argyle (3-4). In the match before that, Lincoln hosted Swindon Town and drew the game 2-2.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Heartbreak for Lincoln in their last match as Plymouth Argyle's J. Edwards scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lincoln City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost four.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lincoln, as the League One home game vs Crewe Alexandra is only four days away.
Lincoln have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at LNER Stadium with 23 goals in 15 league matches. Lincoln have conceded 19 in these home matches.
Fleetwood Town form and stats
Fleetwood Town have only collected 12 points from their away games in the League One, after 3-3-9 (15 played). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Fleetwood are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Fleetwood delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Accrington Stanley (placed 7th) in their previous match; a League One game. Prior to that match, the Fleetwood manager S. Grayson faced defeat when travelling to Sunderland and losing 0-2.
Fleetwood are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, three draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The League One trip to Shrewsbury Town.
The attacking power of Fleetwood when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Fleetwood have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Fleetwood Town - Lincoln 0-0, played this season. Head-2-head stats last four meetings: one - two - one (Lincoln wins - draws - Fleetwood Town wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
