Lincoln City form and stats

With 3 League One wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Lincoln City are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Lincoln City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Doncaster Rovers, AFC Wimbledon, Lincoln City, Gillingham, Crewe Alexandra, Fleetwood Town and Cheltenham Town), they have won 1 of 2 matches! The Lincoln manager Appleton might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

No payout for Lincoln City in their previous match, an away game at Milton Keynes Dons that ended in defeat 1-2. Midfield player Scully got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Scully hit the woodwork once, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Before that game, the home loss against Burton Albion with the scoreline 1-2.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Lincoln City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won two matches, drawn two and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Lincoln as they have a new game in only four days, a League One match thankfully also at home. Wycombe Wanderers are visiting.

Lincoln City aren't scoring a lot here at LNER Stadium in the league, with only 13 goals from 14 games. 19 goals have been conceded.
