Lincoln City prepare to entertain Scunthorpe United at Sincil Bank Stadium on Monday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Red Imps are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 7 of the 33 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was just last season, in February 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.
