Our prediction for this League 1 match:
LNER stadium will host Wednesday’s football game between Lincoln and Rotherham. The Imps aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Shrewsbury and Bolton and they are surely capable of matching the Millers on home soil. Scotland midfielder Ethan Erhahon misses out through suspension, while forward Reeco Hackett-Fairchild is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league game.
Rotherham United, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the travels. Considering that the Millers are on a four-game losing run on the road, we predict that Lincoln are going to emerge triumphant in the midweek clash. In their last meeting in the English third tier, Rotherham defeated Lincoln 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury worries in the away 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.
