Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Lincoln and Cheltenham face each other at LNER Stadium in the League One round 44. Lincoln aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Wigan and Portsmouth, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Robins. Morgan Whittaker is sidelined through suspension, while both Lewis Montsma and Joshua Griffiths remain in the treatment room. Cheltenham, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with 55 points in their pocket.
Since both sides would be happy with one point from the match, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. As for the visiting team, Ben Williams faces race against clock to be fit for the match, while talented midfielder Aaron Ramsey is pushing for a rare start. You should know that the two sides played out a 2-2 draw in the first half of the season.
