Stevenage v Lincoln City

Stevenage v Lincoln City Preview

Stevenage will be in hot pursuit of a third league win on the trot on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Lincoln City at their Lamex Stadium following recent back-to-back wins in League One, while Lincoln City will be looking to halt a three-match winless run in the English third tier when they hit the road this weekend.

Stevenage had previously collected important wins against Derby County and Wycombe Wanderers which have helped lift Steve Evans' side up into fifth place in the League One standings and early contention for a possible play-off spot later in the season.

Previous stalemates by way of draws with Port Vale and Bristol Rovers have contributed to Stevenage putting together a four-match unbeaten run prior to this upcoming encounter against Lincoln City, and having also suffered just the one defeat at home so far this season, Stevenage look a tough prospect for Lincoln City this Saturday.

Stevenage's one loss came in the shape of a heavy 3-1 loss to Oxford United but wins against Shrewsbury Town, Wigan Athletic and Derby County have outweighed that loss so far, although being involved in four draws has slowed them down a touch.

Lincoln City occupy ninth place in the League One table and although they've failed to win any of their last three league games, being involved in two draws and a defeat, The Imps still only trail the play-off pack by a four-point margin prior to this weekend's action.

Overall results this season have seen Lincoln City produce a mixed bag of returns to date but although they have slipped to recent defeats to Peterborough United, Burton Albion and Oxford United, the visitors have also picked up important wins against Fleetwood Town and Charlton Athletic while also gaining points in draws with Exeter City and Port Vale as well.

Lincoln had made a promising start to this League One campaign as The Imps had slipped to just one defeat within their opening seven games overall which was a 3-0 loss away from home at Bolton Wanderers but this sequence also included victories gained over Wycombe Wanderers, Shrewsbury Town and Blackpool, so the visitors are by no means an easy touch.

Stevenage v Lincoln City Verdict

Stevenage have scored in six of their eight home games so far this term, while Lincoln City have also produced the same ratio of goals on their travels in this campaign to date so both teams look capable of hitting the back of the net in this clash.

Lincoln City have also won three out of the previous four meetings against Stevenage and three out of the last five encounters have also resulted in both teams scoring so this could be an eventful fixture.

Therefore, our main bet will be Both Teams To Score Yes @ 2.00
