Prediction: 2-2
Forest Green
All eyes will be on LNER Stadium when Lincoln City and Forest Green face each other in the FA Cup round 1. Lincoln suffered a dip in form in the League One, with the team losing to both Doncaster and Portsmouth in the previous two league fixtures, but they are still in the race for automatic promotion to the Championship.
The Green Army, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Leyton Orient, and given their attacking potential, a lively contest is on the cards at LNER Stadium. In each of their previous three encounters in the League Two over 2.5 goals have been netted; therefore, we believe that this betting option should be considered. A man to watch in the home team will be midfielder Jorge Grant, while Lincoln City defenders should have Jamaica international Jamille Matt at bay.
Highlighted Player (Dominic Bernard):
After spending his youth career at Tredworth Tigers and Birmingham City, Dom Bernard signed a professional deal with the Blues. However, he did not see any game action with Birmingham City at the senior level as he was instantly sent on loan at Aldershot Town.

He was born in Gloucester, England on March 29, 1997, and he wears the number 3 shirt at Forest Green. His main position is right back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a centre-back as well.
