Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Saturday’s football game at LNER stadium pits together Lincoln and Doncaster, the two bottom-table sides. The Imps failed to win the previous six league fixtures, with the team dropping down the standings week by week. Lincoln collected only one point in total from the previous four league fixtures, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. A man to watch in the home team will be Teddy Bishop, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Cheltenham at the weekend, while Timothy Eyoma remains on the sidelines through suspension.
The Donny, on the other hand, are having a season to forget. Doncaster, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town. Gary McSheffrey’s troops, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and that is the main reason why home win should be considered. All Okenabirhie, Close, John, Williams, Bostock, Vilca, and Gardner have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the away team.
