There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a League One game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Accrington Stanley. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Lincoln City form and stats
6 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That’s what Lincoln City, who have the most clean sheets (10) in League One, have to build on here at Sincil Bank Stadium in the League One.
Lincoln's last game was hosting Accrington Stanley (placed 9th) and winning 4-0. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a League One home game that ended 1-1 versus Peterborough United.
As mentioned above, Lincoln "killed" Accrington Stanley in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Lincoln matches with similar probabilities have ended with five wins, two draws and one defeat (from eight games).
The Lincoln fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 11 league matches. Lincoln City have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Gillingham form and stats
5-1-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Gillingham in their League One matches away.
Gillingham play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Accrington Stanley (placed 9th). A 0-1 loss hosting Burton Albion before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Gillingham playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.
A quick return to home after this game, as Gillingham are hosting Rochdale in the League One only four days away.
Gillingham are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 11 games (in the league). 13 goals have been conceded by Gillingham in these games.
