Our prediction for this League 1 match:
After suffering a 4-2 loss to Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend, Plymouth will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they host Lincoln to their Home Park. The Pilgrims are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Imps. Brendan Galloway remains in the recovery room, while Ryan Hardie is a major doubt. You should bear in mind that Plymouth are eyeing their eighth home win of the process.
Lincoln, on the other hand, are still sitting in the danger zone, four points clear of bottom three. The Imps failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Cambridge United, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home team. Returnee Max Melbourne is pushing for a start, while both Tom Hopper and Joe Walsh are rated doubtful for the visiting side.

Highlighted Team (Lincoln):
Lincoln City are one of the oldest clubs competing in the League One as they were founded back in 1884. Lincoln City FC were established as an amateur association, but they turned professional in the 1891/1892 season.
Back then they played at John O’Gaunts stadium, but nowadays Sincil Bank is the club’s home ground. Sincil Bank was opened in 1895, holding up to 10,120 people. The club’s main colours are red, white and black, whilst the Imps wear green shirts and white shorts when playing on the road. Lincoln City and Mansfield Town are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals, but the Limps had some sort of local rivalry with Peterborough United, Hull City and York City as well.
Albert Iremonger (42 years and 312 days) is the oldest footballer to have played for the club, whilst Shane Nicholson (16 years and 112 days) is the youngest one. Lincoln City recorded a thrilling 9-1 victory over then local rivals Sleaford in their first game.
