Lincoln City prepare to entertain Cheltenham Town at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the The Red Imps winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Three match.
