Goal Statistics

Lincoln City's defensive record is to be admired, M. Skubala's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive League One matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Doncaster Rovers makes sense in this context.

Lincoln City have been reliable in attack of late, scoring in 21 consecutive League One outings. Their PG of 1.7 against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
