Lincoln City vs Accrington Stanley Match Analysis and Prediction

Lincoln City will be looking to get back to winning ways when they play host to Accrington Stanley at LNER Stadium on Tuesday.

On the other hand, the visitors sit just two points outside of the relegation zone in the League One table, putting pressure on the upcoming game.

Lincoln City head into the contest in 14th place in table following five victories, six draws and four defeats throughout the opening stages of the campaign.

They suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Port Vale at the weekend when a 68th-minute goal from Daniel Butterworth proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Scoring has been a problem for the Imps of late, failing to find the back of the net more than once in their previous six league matches. However, they are unbeaten at home so far this season, which should bring some confidence to the squad that they can continue that run.

Accrington have also been finding it difficult to pick up victories in recent weeks, as they head into the contest off the back of five successive defeats in the league.

The most recent of those defeats came at the weekend against Fleetwood Town when John Coleman’s side were beaten 3-0, with the three goals coming in a span of 10 minutes.

Their recent poor results has led to them slipping down the table as the ‘Owd Reds are currently 20th in the League One standings.

Just three teams in the division have conceded more goals than Accrington so far this season, with that being a clear issue for the team heading into this one.

There is only two points separating Accrington and MK Dons in the relegation zone, which means that another defeat in midweek could lead to them falling into the bottom four.

Lincoln City news

Adam Jackson returned to the back three for Lincoln City on Saturday, and even though they failed to keep a clean sheet, he will retain his place.

The hosts could be forced into a change in midweek, as Daniel Mandroiu had to be replaced in the first half against Port Vale through injury.

Accrington Stanley news

Doug Thame and Liam Coyle both missed out for Accrington Stanley at the weekend due to suspension, which allowed Seamus Conneely and Baba Fernandes to get some minutes.

At the other end of the pitch, Tommy Leigh is expected to retain his spot in the side as he leads the line on his own.

Prediction and Odds

Lincoln City have been struggling for goals in recent weeks, but coming up against a team in poor defensive form could be an ideal situation to turn around that form.

With Accrington Stanley in the midst of a difficult run of form recently, we back the hosts for a win.
