Lincoln City prepare to entertain Darlington at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Red Imps are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 7 of the 48 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was just last season, in February 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.
