Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that huge efforts have been put in by the Lincoln City defence. Lincoln City have given the opposition little, resulting in the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper over the course of their last six matches standing at 3. We will have to find out if that trend can be sustained in this game.

• haven't beaten Wigan Athletic in their last 2 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 9 league matches at home. They have been so resilient here.
