Prediction: 2-1
Barnsley
Lincoln and Barnsley square off against each other at LNER Stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. The Imps defeated Burton in the opening match of the season and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The opposition back-line should have towering defender Paudie O’Connor at bay during the set-pieces as the 27-year-old Ireland international scored a brace in the season opener.
The Tykes, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Mansfield, but a win over Wigan in the EFL Cup round 1 undisputedly gave them a confidence boost. Lincoln, though, are a real force to be reckoned with at home and the fact that they hammered Barnsley 5-1 last time out goes in favour of our prediction. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
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.
