League 1 
Sincil Bank is the venue for a mid-table League One clash as Lincoln City are set to host Exeter on Saturday afternoon in a game which is set to kick off at 15:00.
The hosts currently find themselves in 11th place in the league table, having amassed 42 points from their 32 league games this season. The Imps look destined to spend another season in League One as they are currently 13 points away from the playoff places and 11 points above the relegation zone.
Michael Skubala’s side come into this game on the back of a good run of form which has seen the Imps go six games without a loss. This run has included important draws against Wycombe, Derby and Peterborough.Lincoln have won two of their last three league outings having recorded a 1-0 victory over Burton and a 2-1 victory over Fleetwood.
In their last league outing, Lincoln were held to a draw against Charlton. Despite taking a lead in the 37th minute, the Imps were unable to hold onto all three points.
Following an inconsistent season, Exeter currently find themselves in 13th place in the table having gained 39 points from their 33 league games so far this season. A win this weekend would see Exeter go level on points with Lincoln.
Exeter began February with a disappointing 1-0 loss against Bristol rovers however they responded well and recorded back to back 2-1 victories over Peterborough and Wigan.
On Tuesday, the Grecian were defeated 3-0 by Derby County in a highly disappointing result. Despite having less possession than Lincoln, Derby controlled the game and looked comfortable throughout.
The fixture of Lincoln vs Exeter has a long and storied history, with the two sides having first met in 1962 in the League Division Four. In total, these two sides have met on 67 occasions, with Lincoln having the better record, winning 27 games, compared with Exeter’s 21.

The points were shared when these two sides met in this season’s reverse fixture in October. Lincoln took an early lead as Alistair Smith smashed in Paudie O’Connor’s assist from close-range. Then, following 60 minutes of close-calls at both ends of the pitch, Exeter equalised thanks to Ryan Trevitt.
Lincoln are narrowly favoured at the bookies ahead of this matchup and are currently priced @ 11/10, whilst an away win for Exeter is priced @ 5/2 and a draw is @ 21/10. We are backing Lincoln to win and under 2.5 goals in the game.
The Imps come into this game on the back of a good run of form however they have struggled to find the back of the net throughout this season. The Ipms have only scored more than one goal in one of their last 13 games in all competitions, so we expect this to be another low scoring game.
