Goal Statistics

Lincoln City have been consistent in attack of late, scoring in 20 consecutive League One outings. Their PG of 1.8 against Stockport County on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.

With a PG of just 0.9, Stockport County look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that Lincoln City haven't conceded a goal in 4 consecutive League One games, and it could be a long lunch time for D. Challinor's men.
