Lincoln

Bolton and Lincoln go head to head with both sides eager to make a statement in the early stages of the season. Bolton are looking to return to winning ways after a goalless draw with QPR, a game in which they were arguably fortunate to escape with a point as the visitors registered 10 shots on target and 1.81 xG. Steven Schumacher's men have nevertheless been strong at home ... Read More...
