Lincoln City aim to win their second successive away game in League One. They are second in the table and on Monday travel to ninth-placed Barnsley who had a rather disappointing Boxing Day. Read our match prediction below.
City are only three points behind leaders Cardiff City. They are in the second and final automatic promotion spot, a point clear of Bradford City but from a game more. Boxing Day saw them win 2-1 at Stockport County thanks to a 92nd minute penalty.
The Red Imps are in good form at present with 13 points earned from their last five league fixtures. Four away league games have been won this season but the same number have been lost by Lincoln. Seven of their last eight games have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Barnsley's Boxing Day got off to a great start as they went 2-0 up on Mansfield in 13 minutes. It was all downhill after that though and they eventually lost 3-2 for their second successive league defeat.
Six goals have been conceded in their last two league games. The goals have been flowing on home soil with 15 scored in the last three played. The reverse fixture against Lincoln ended in a 3-1 defeat.
We tip more than 2.5 goals in this match.
