A strong away win before that one, visiting Ipswich Town and winning 1-0.There will be little rest for Lincoln after this match as they are travelling to Barnsley for a League One game in only three days.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Cambridge United.Look out: 10 of the last 13 league games involving this side have ended with only one (or no) side scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).
After this away game Sheffield Wednesday return home for a League One game against Bristol Rovers. That game is only four sleeps after this.
