This could be the highlight game of the weekend from League Two. Notts County are motoring along in second place in the table with a great winning streak going, but they won’t get any easy game against Lincoln. The Imps have won their last two games out on the road so they have a bit of travelling wind in their sails as they head to Meadow Lane to face the Magpies. Lincoln could haul themselves considerably closer to County with a win. But the Imps are 17/10 underdogs for this one, with Notts County trading at 6/4 to collect three points.

Notts County
Lincoln CityNotts County Form
Notts County have put together some superb form with six wins in their last seven games (D1). Defensively they have been mighty as well with four clean sheets on the bounce and in five of their eight league games this season. So they are tough and at home, their form reads W3 D1 and each of the wins in that sequence have been with a clean sheet. Three of their last four wins have been by a 1-0 scoreline which may be a decent trend to run with. Two of their three on home soil have been by a 2-0 scoreline.
Lincoln Form
The Imps have posted a pretty solid W3 D3 L2 record for the season and out on the road they have won their last two at Stevenage and Forest Green. That leaves them with a W2 D1 L1 record out on the road for the season. The Imps have only scored first in three of their eight matches this season. Perhaps what could be a telling result for them though was they did lose 1-0 at league leaders Exeter back on August 19th, but only by a 1-0 scoreline. They’ll try and keep it tight at Meadow Lane.
Head to Head News
Wins have been split evenly between the last four between these at Meadow Lane. The two wins for the home side in that sequence were both 3-1 victories, while the two wins for Lincoln were by a 1-0 scoreline. County are on a three-match unbeaten streak against the Imps now but then the Imps won the previous three before that. This will be the first meeting in the league between them since the 2009/10 League Two Season.
Top Betting Tips
The Imps can make things difficult for the home side, but momentum is fully with Notts County at the moment who are just not giving anything up at the back and Lincoln are not a terrifically powerful attacking side. So the home side can keep their great form going with three points in this one.
