Our prediction for this League 1 match:
LNER stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Lincoln and Wigan. The Imps aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach against Wigan. Sonny Bradley is banned for the match following his sending-off in a 1-1 draw with Mansfield, while fellow midfielder Regan Hendry is expected to miss out with injury.
The Latics, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run in the League One and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the playoffs-chasing hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. All Adams, Carragher, Mabaya, and Sze are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team. It is worth mentioning that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of the previous four meetings between the two teams in League One.
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.
