Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Blackpool, Lincoln will look to return to winning ways in the League One when they take on Leyton Orient on Saturday afternoon. The Imps have been involved in some low-scoring games of late and you should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last five League One outings. Defender Adam Jackson serves a one-game ban following his sending-off in the midweek clash.
The O’s, on the other hand, struggled up front in a 1-0 defeat to Exeter, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on under 2.5 goals. Taking everything into account, we are unlikely to see goals galore at LNER Stadium this time out. As for the visiting side, Sean Clare is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven, with Lewis Warrington likely to step up.
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.
