History of the Lincoln City v Boston United fixture

Lincoln City prepare to entertain Boston United at Sincil Bank Stadium on Monday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Each of the previous meetings has been drawn by the The Red Imps.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was just last season, in September 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Two match.
