Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Lincoln
The 2019/2020 League One campaign has been a mixed bag for Burton Albion, and, as a result, they sit in the middle of the table ahead of Matchday 20. The Brewers proved their worth in a 2-1 win at Sunderland in their last away game, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Seeing that Burton Albion aim to move a little closer to the play-offs berth, we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football match against Lincoln City.
The Imps, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Gillingham in their last league fixture, with the team dropping to the 18th place in the standings. Considering that Burton Albion have been in a much better form of late than Lincoln City, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts.

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.
