Struggling Lincoln City will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ipswich Town in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Lincoln City and Ipswich Town.
