Since securing promotion from League Two in the 2018/2019 season, Lincoln have mostly been a mid-table team, with only one Playoff appearance. This season, the popular Imps are doing a magnificent job considering they are in second place with 52 points in 27 rounds - six points away from dropping down to third place. The Imps have been particularly impressive at home, averaging an incredible 2.36 points per game there.

After another home win (2:1 over Burton), coach Michael Skubala spoke to the media.

Bradford City team overview

Bradford City secured promotion from League Two last season and are unexpectedly searching for their second in a row. However, unlike Lincoln, which are only getting better as the season progresses, Bradford City are slowing down. After losing three of the past four, they are now in 4th place with 46 points. But despite their poor recent results, they are still only six points behind second place and have played two fewer games than second-placed Lincoln.

After a 1:0 loss to Huddersfield, coach Graham Alexander spoke to the media. He said it was a tough result to take, saying Huddersfield deserved their victory. The coach also said they especially struggled in the first half, but acknowledged that these things happen.

Prediction

Lincoln are in an excellent nine-game unbeaten run. During that run, they faced some great teams, including Cardiff, Stockport County, and Huddersfield, and earned 7 points against them (2 wins and 1 draw). But looking at the stats, they deserved all three wins. The Imps have also been fantastic at home, winning 10 out of 14 games - a magnificent 71% win rate.

On the other hand, Bradford City lost back-to-back games and three of the past four. Yes, they had a pretty challenging schedule, but a game vs Lincoln will be no easier. Additionally, Bradford City had massive problems on the road, winning just twice in 12 games across the competitions.

Considering the difference in form and Lincoln's excellent home record, we believe the Imps are much closer to winning the upcoming League One.
