Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Blackpool
Match Time & Date:
03/10/2020
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Lincoln
Blackpool will be looking to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Gillingham when they host Lincoln at their Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon. The Seasiders continue with their old habit of producing much better performances at home than on the travels, but the game against Lincoln will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be CJ Hamilton, who scored a brace in a 2-0 win over Swindon.
Michael Appleton’s troops aim to keep their 100% record in the League One intact, but beating Blackpool on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Bloomfield Road, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Lincoln quickly bounced back from the EFL Cup loss to Liverpool, and they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Seasiders.
Highlighted Player (Chris Maxwell):
Chris Maxwell is a Welsh goalkeeper who was born in St Asaph on July 30, 1990. Maxwell began his youth career at Penrhyn Bay (1998-2000) and in 2000 he moved to Wrexham. The 188-cm-tall shoot-stopper made his first-team debut for Wrexham at the age of 18 and he played 76 league games for the club from 2008 to 2012.
During the 2008/2009 season he spent six months on loan at Welsh club Connah’s Quay Nomads and in 2012 he joined Fleetwood Town. Chris Maxwell made 110 appearances in the league for the Trawlermen and on May 16, 2016 he signed a three-year deal with Championship side Preston North End. You should know that he managed to keep clean sheets in 38 appearances for the Lilywhites in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign.
Due to his dual citizenship, Maxwell is capable of representing both Wales and Scotland at senior level, but he played for the Dragons at youth level, being capped for the U21 team 16 times.
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.
