Tranmere Rovers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 32 points and a 21st position in the League One table. Visiting Lincoln City holds 15th place with 42 pts.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the League One. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Blackpool.
