Prediction: 1-1
Shrewsbury
Sincil Bank will host Friday’s football game between Lincoln City and Shrewsbury Town, the two teams who are level on points ahead of Matchday 14. Lincoln City made a flying start to the season, but they do not seem to be on top of their game ahead of the visit of Shrewsbury Town. The Imps suffered five defeats in previous seven league fixtures and, as a result, they dropped to 12th place in the standings.
The Shrews, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers and they are likely to take advantage of the fact that Lincoln City suffered a dip in form. You should bear in mind that it has been eight years since the two teams last faced each other in the English third tier. Back then Shrewsbury Town crushed Lincoln City 5-1, but share of spoils is on the cards this time out.
