The last time the two teams met at Lincoln City was just over four years ago, in October 1999, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Division Three match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Lincoln City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Red Imps will at least gain a draw. Score draw
