Form, Standings, Stats

We say: Lincoln City 2-1 Accrington Stanley

While both sides are currently enduring poor spells of form, Lincoln have at least proven to be a tough team to beat on home turf this season. In their last three EFL Trophy home games, Lincoln have won twice and drawn one match against Morecambe, who they subsequently beat on penalties to claim a bonus point in the group stage, and we think that the Imps will continue that positive run by claiming a narrow win over a depleted Accrington side.
