Stat Attack
- Cardiff have claimed only four points in their last eight meetings against Lincoln City (W1, D1, L6).
- Lincoln City have claimed seven points in their last five league visits to Cardiff (W2, D1, L2).
- Cardiff have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine league matches at home to Lincoln City.
- Perry Ng has scored in each of Cardiff’s last three home matches (W3).
- Lincoln City have scored ten goals in their last three matches without conceding (W3).
Prediction
Sat just one point clear of Lincoln City coming into this match, Cardiff certainly have the momentum with no defeat in their last 12 league games at home and absolutely thrashed Doncaster last weekend, meaning that a win would pretty much put them on course to go up as champions.
Lincoln City meanwhile clinically dispatched Blackpool at home last weekend and are on a 17-match unbeaten streak with clean sheets in four of their last six games, so are coming into this match full of belief that they can go top if they get the win.
This clash however is finely poised because both teams have the same goal difference and whilst Cardiff have scored five more goals than the Imps, Lincoln City have conceded five less goals, so this could well be a see-saw game that ends in a point apiece which suits Cardiff more.
Prediction: Cardiff 2-2 Lincoln City
Result: Cardiff 0-2 Lincoln City
