Goal Statistics

Lincoln City have been consistent in attack of late, finding the net in 19 consecutive League One matches. Their PG of 1.9 against Rotherham United on Saturday suggests that run is likely to continue.

With a PG of just 0.8, Rotherham United look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that Lincoln City have kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive League One games, and it could be a long afternoon for M. Hamshaw's men.
