History of the Huddersfield Town v Lincoln City fixture

Lincoln City travel to take on Huddersfield Town at Sir Alfred McAlpine Stadium on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Red Imps will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Huddersfield was amazingly over twenty years ago, in April 1983, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Third Division match.
