Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Shrewsbury will be aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Burton when they face Lincoln in the League One round 4. The Shrews quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Stevenage and they are currently on a mission to uphold their perfect record at home ground. Barring any fresh injury worries, head coach Matthew Taylor is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Brewers on Tuesday evening.
The Imps, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the new League One campaign, with the team losing to Bolton, beating Wycombe, while sharing the spoils with Northampton. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on Shrewsbury as they have been impressive in front of home fans so far this season. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team, forward Tyler Walker could sneak into the starting XI.
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.
