Lincoln City vs Doncaster Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Lincoln’s last five matches
• Doncaster have scored in four of their last five away games
• Doncaster have taken seven points from 16 away league games this season

January recruits have revived Lincoln’s season

At the turn of the year Lincoln looked set to be battling relegation for the remainder of the season. Some improved performances have eased those fears; however, The Imps are just five points above the drop and surely will have this contest pencilled in as a must win to help pull further clear of the relegation contenders.

Lincoln have won four of their eight games so far in 2022 and can count themselves unlucky not to have a slightly better record this year – Lincoln’s three defeats so far this year have all been by a singular goal. Lincoln’s upturn in form has coincided with several January recruits arriving at the club. Michael Appleton added fire power up top in the most recent window and the signing of John Marquis has proved an instant hit having scored three goals in his five Lincoln appearances so far. Lincoln have the attacking players to cause the visitors all sorts of problems on Tuesday.

Hapless Donny may strike a consolation

Another humiliating defeat at Portsmouth on Saturday looks to have all but sealed Doncaster’s fate this season, they now have a nine-point gap to overturn to avoid the drop. Doncaster have been shocking on the road all season and have mustered just seven points from 16 away league games this campaign. Despite their shocking defensive record, we can harbour hopes of them bagging a consolation goal on Tuesday evening. They have scored in four of their last five away games and the hosts are prone to giving up a goal.

My main selection in this one will be Lincoln to win and both teams to score. Both teams have scored in Lincoln’s last five matches, whilst Doncaster have scored in four of their last five away games. A comfortable home win is expected, but I am happy to chance a consolation goal for the visitors. For my correct score prediction, I will chance a 4-1 home win.
