Lincoln City form and stats
2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Lincoln City, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season.
Lincoln City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. AFC Wimbledon proved too strong as Lincoln slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Sincil Bank Stadium. Lewis Montsma, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.4. Montsma hit one key pass and won 7 of 16 duels.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Charlton Athletic.The schedule is very tough for Lincoln now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Wigan Athletic is waiting in only three days.
Lincoln are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. In the opposite end, Lincoln have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
