Lincoln enjoyed a good midweek victory over Newport in the league and that extended their form to three games unbeaten. They have been carrying decent form but it’s so tight in the play off race that they can’t seem to make up ground. Swindon are a couple of places above them in the table and also running in some pretty hot form at the moment so this should be quite the duel at Sincil Bank and perhaps the highlight of the League Two weekend.

SwindonLincoln Form
Lincoln are going well and they landed a great 3-1 home win over Newport in midweek. That leaves them with only the one loss in their last ten league games played now. That is even with them struggling for clean sheets lately as they don’t have a single one in any of their last five games. That hasn’t stopped them picking up points with a W2 D2 L1 record in that sequence. Lincoln have only suffered two home defeats all season so they should be good enough to back to avoid defeat at least. This is a really important game for them as it would lift them closer to the play off places again and they go into the game two points adrift of Swindon who are occupying the last play off spot in seventh. So this is a huge game. The Imps have taken a clean sheet in a third of their home games, averaging under a goal per game at home, while scoring an average of 1.7 goals per game themselves.
Swindon Form
No-one can better Swindon’s away form this season in the division and now they are also winning at home so they are getting better and stronger in their promotion push. It is five wins in their last six league games for the Robins (L1) and they have won three of their last four on the road as well. Overall this season Swindon have gone W10 L4 in their fourteen away games which is impressive. They have scored at an average rate of 1.8 goals per away game this season, scoring in each of their last ten road fixtures and they have also conceded at under a goal per away game on average. They have been that good. They have been leading at the half time break in eight of their fourteen road games so far this term. On the basis of all that they are good enough to challenge in this one and as it is for Lincoln, three points would be huge for the Robins in this clash.
