Prediction: 1-1
Lincoln
Priestfield Stadium will host Saturday’s football match between Gillingham and Lincoln, who face each other at the start of the new League One campaign. The Gills experienced all sorts of problems at the back in their last warm-up game, with the team losing to Norwich City 5-0, but they are surely capable of matching Lincoln at home ground. Vadaine Oliver, who scored 17 goals last season, will be the man to keep an eye on in the home team.
Michael Appleton’s troops, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a pre-season defeat to Stockport. Since both sides are likely to go for a win in Saturday’s game, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Keep in mind, though, that Lincoln City top scorer from the last season Jorge Grant left the club to join Peterborough United.

Stuart O’keefe is a an English footballer who started his senior career at Southend United. In August 2010 O’Keefe signed a one-year deal with Crystal Palace after impressing coach George Burley in a trial game against West Ham reserves.

He made his League One debut with the club on August 3, 2019 in a 1-1 draw with Doncaster Rovers. His main position is central midfield, but he is used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right.
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.
