Recent respective form guides

Notts. County's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Magpies have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Lincoln City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the The Red Imps have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Notts. County find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 21 points from their 20 matches. Lincoln City's 26 points from 20 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
