Lincoln continue to hover around inside of the top half of the table but they have only picked up the one win in their last four played. But this is a game which they will be expected to win, with Chesterfield on such a poor stretch of form at the moment. The Spireites have taken four straight defeats and are floundering in the bottom two with not too much sign of changing that anytime soon at all. Lincoln are odds-on at 4/7 with Ladbrokes to win this one with Chesterfield a big 17/4 price at home.

ChesterfieldLincoln Form
The Imps are one of the better teams in the league, but a couple of misfires lately have set them back. They have gone W1 D1 L2 in their last four, the defeats coming against Mansfield and Notts County, both solid sides. Their home form reads W2 D2 L1 this season and they took a 2-1 victory over Barnet in their last home fixture at the Proact Stadium. They have conceded at an average of under a goal per game this season at home in the league and just 40% of their home fixtures have seen three or more goals.
Chesterfield Form
The Spireites are having a rough season with just one win on the board and that was against the struggling Port Vale. Chesterfield are on a four-match losing streak in the division and they are winless in their last eight now (D2 L6). Away from home, they have collected only one point from their five games and only Forest Green, who are rock bottom of the pile and Yeovil have conceded more goals than they have done this season. They are also the second-lowest scorers this season in the division with nine goals in eleven games.
Head to Head News
Chesterfield enjoyed back to back successes against Lincoln the last time they met in League Two which was a while ago in the 2010/11 season. The two have contested eight League Two games before and from that Chesterfield hold a W4 D1 L3 record against Lincoln, so things are pretty even between them.
Top Betting Tips
Punters are going to have a really hard time trusting Chesterfield to come up with anything, especially out on the road against a decent side. So this should be a home win for the Imps all the way and there’s really no reason not to back them to win to nil either which brings a price of 7/4 for a bit of extra value on them.
