Even though they have not been in bad form at all, the Imps are really having a problem trying to cement themselves in the top seven in League Two. They suffered a defeat last weekend against Cheltenham, but are still in the top ten. They need to string some winning form together though. Crawley have only won one of their last six games in the division and they really seem to have forgotten where the back of the net is. Lincoln are odds-on favourites at 3/4 in the match outright at Ladbrokes with Crawley at 17/4.

Lincoln City
Crawley Town FCThe Imps have lost just one of their last six games in the division, which is pretty solid for them, but they still can’t seem to climb their way back up the table. That’s because the top ten is pretty competitive and so consistency is the key. They have only won back to back league games once this season, despite all of their strengths. The Imps have gone W3 D2 L1 in their last six league outings and at home are unbeaten in three. They have a solid W3 D3 L1 record at home in the league this season. Defensively they still look great with just two goals conceded in their last five games and three clean sheets.
Crawley Form
Crawley are managing to keep themselves away from the drop zone, and have lost just one of their last four in a good W1 D2 L1 record. We say good, even though it’s not great form, but the points they have collected in that sequence have been good because there was an away win at Morecambe, a draw at the in-form Grimsby and a superb home draw against leaders Luton last weekend. Unfortunately, Crawley have scored only one goal in their last five league matches. Away from home, they have posted a W3 D2 L2 record which is significantly better than their home form.
Head to Head News
This will be the first competitive meeting between the two clubs.
Top Betting Tips
This should be Lincoln all the way. Crawley have had most of their successes away from home this season, but Lincoln have to be sharp enough to take a home win against a side struggling for goals. This should go under 2.5 goals and look for Lincoln to grind out the three points.
