The Railwaymen just can’t seem to steady their ship and they are just three points away from safety. There has been the odd glimmer of hope for them though on home soil, but they get another tricky match at Alexandra Stadium. Lincoln are up in the top ten in the league and they have produced some decent form recently with only the one loss in their last seven. The visiting Imps are 23/20 to bag themselves the three points with Crewe at 13/5.

Lincoln City FCCrewe Form
Eight defeats in their last ten games paints a pretty clear picture of how the season is going for the Railwaymen at the moment. However, they have won two of their last three home games and both of those victories were to nil as well. They have had some tough home games recently too, in having beaten Stevenage and Notts County while losing against Accrington in their most recent home fixture. Their home form is propping them up this season and it is W4 D L3. Crewe are struggling for goals with an average of just one per game in the league this season.
Lincoln Form
The Imps are W3 D3 L1 in their last seven so can be pretty happy with their form. They are a great defensive unit and they have taken four clean sheets in their last six league games, conceding just the two goals in that sequence. Away from home in League Two this term they are W3 D2 L3 and have won just one of their last four on their travels. They have the defensive strengths but their lack of scoring output holds them back. They have scored in just two of their last six games.
