Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Forest Green
Buoyed by the EFL Cup triumph over Doncaster, Lincoln will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they face Forest Green in the League One round 3. The Imps are eyeing their first League One win of the season, but they will have a big fish to fry in Saturday’s clash. Defender Adam Jackson, who limped off with injury in the midweek triumph, is unlikely to feature against Forest Green, with Regan Poole likely to step up.
The Green Army, on the other hand, kicked off the new League One season with a 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers, while losing to Ipswich Town at the weekend. Forest Green then proved their worth in the EFL Cup triumph over Leyton Orient, but beating Lincoln on the road is easier said than done. Since the Imps do not suit the Green Army at all, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Defender Udoka Godwin-Malife should miss out with injury for the visiting side.
