๐ Team News: Lincoln City
There is just one fitness concern for the Lincoln City gaffer Mark Kennedy to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Lewis Montsma (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is out of contention.
โน๏ธ Team News: Burton Albion
Burton Albion boss Dino Maamria has not got a full squad to pick from. William Kokolo (Unknown Injury) and Louis Moult (Ankle Injury) will not be playing here.
๐ก Prediction
Here is a game where Burton Albion might need a bit of good fortune to break down this Lincoln City lineup who we think will gain the upper hand.
We therefore think that itโs going to be a good tussle with a 1-0 advantage for Lincoln City when the full-time whistle blows.
