Prediction: 2-2
Lincoln
After putting an end to their four-game losing run thanks to a 2-1 win over Burton, Cheltenham Town will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Lincoln on Saturday afternoon. The Robins are desperate to secure the League One survival and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Imps. As Aidan Keena was forced to leave the pitch after just 19 minutes against Burton, Joseph Nuttall should be recalled to the starting XI.
Meanwhile, Lincoln aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Oxford United. As the Imps will go for a win in Saturday’s clash as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. It has to be noted that talented Lincoln midfielder Dylan Duffy misses the game through suspension. As a result, Reeco Hackett-Fairchild should keep his place in the starting eleven.
Highlighted Player (Teddy Bishop):
Having joined Ipswich as an eight-year-old, Teddy Bishop rose through the ranks at Portman Road to become one of the key players for the Tractor Boys. Bishop’s road to prominence hit a serious roadblock in his first year of the academy scholarship when he endured a serious back injury, but it was in 2014 that he went from strength to strength – proving his worth at the club and emerging as one of the most promising players in the squad.
The total of 36 appearances in his debut season with the first team were more than enough to make an impression on the fans and the club hierarchy which offered him a new long-term deal.
This deep-lying midfielder in characterized by impressive passing accuracy, vision and great reading of the play. Bishop is an asset defensively as well, but he is most comfortable sitting just above the back line, spraying balls around. As a two-footed midfielder, Teddy Bishop is regularly being watched by a number of Premier League biggest clubs.
Highlighted Team (Cheltenham):
