Lincoln City prepare to entertain Cheltenham Town at Sincil Bank Stadium on Friday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 5 previous games, with the The Red Imps winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.
