Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fleetwood, Lincoln will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Charlton Athletic in the League One round 15. The Imps have regained a much-needed confidence, but Tuesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. With no fresh injury worries to report, Mark Kennedy is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Cod Army at the weekend.
The Red Robins, on the other hand, rolled over Reading 4-0 in their last league match to move closer to the playoffs berth. As Charlton Athletic have been showing signs of improvement in front of goal of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Tyreece Campbell is widely expected to sneak into Charlton’s starting Xi after producing a fine display in the last league fixture.
Highlighted Player (Jake Forster-Caskey ):
Born in Southend-on-Sea, England on April 25, 1994 Jake Forster-Caskey is a midfielder who plays for Charlton Athletic in the League One. Forster-Caskey started his both youth and senior careers at Brighton & Hove Albion and it has to be noted that he scored five goals in 67 league appearances for the Seagulls first team.
After spending a couple of seasons on loan at the likes of Oxford United, Milton Keynes Dons and Rotherham United, the English footballer signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Charlton Athletic in the winter of 2017. Jake quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the capital club, scoring 5 goals in 43 appearances in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
However, he was out of contention for most of the 2018/2019 season with a serious knee injury. His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and left midfielder as well.
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.
