Lincoln City prepare to entertain Chesterfield at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Red Imps are clearly on top, winning 51.92% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was just last season, in October 2008, with Lincoln City running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Lincoln City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Spireites have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Lincoln City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 21 matches. Chesterfield are just outside the promotion places, in 5th, having taken 35 points from 21 games.
