Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Lincoln and Blackpool square off against each other at LNER stadium in what is expected to be a close League One encounter. Lincoln have found their best form of late, with the team beating Northampton 1-0 on the road, while crushing Peterborough 5-1 at home and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of Tuesday’s clash. Talented forward Freddie Draper should keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net against the Posh, while Forward Bailey Cadamarteri remains in the recovery room. Midfielder Jack Moylan is a major doubt.
The Seasiders, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Exeter and they are likey to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Lincoln. Given Lincoln’s attacking potential at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Matthew Pennington and Lee Evans should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
