Lincoln City prepare to entertain Shrewsbury Town at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 9 of the 19 previous games, with the The Red Imps winning just 4.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2008, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the The Red Imps at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Shrews come away with an easy victory. Away win
