Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Lincoln will be aiming to put an end to their three-game losing run in League One when they take on Stevenage on Saturday. The Imps do not seem to be at their sharpest, but the round 25 clash could turn their fortunes around in the English third tier. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Ethan Erhanon is back from suspension, while both Dylan Duffy and Freddie Draper are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
The Boro, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Northampton. Stevenage have been impressive at the back of late and given Lincoln’s difficulties in front of goal, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous three meetings between the two sides in the English third tier. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Lincolnshire.
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.
