Preview: Lincoln City vs. Peterborough United – prediction, team news, lineups
Aiming to strengthen their position in the top two of the League One table, Peterborough United will travel to take on Lincoln City on Saturday.
The visitors have moved into the automatic promotion spots with three straight victories, while their hosts sit 12th in the midst of a dip in form.
lincoln City head into the weekend aiming to put an end to a dismal run of form, having quickly dropped to 12th spot in the League One table in the midst of a winless streak.
Michael Skubala took over as Imps manager in mid-November with the side sat on 23 points from their opening 16 games, but he has been unable to inspire a real improvement with his first 12 league games at the helm producing just 11 more points, despite overseeing 1-0 and 3-0 triumphs away at Leyton Orient and Cambridge United respectively in his first month.
Since that second victory in late November, Lincoln have failed to add another notch to their wins column in eight League One attempts, firstly playing out draws with Wigan Athletic and Reading, before suffering four straight defeats at the hands of Derby County, Bolton Wanderers, Northampton Town and Blackpool through the festive period and into the New Year.
The Imps then travelled to Wycombe Wanderers and after looking set to fall to a fifth straight loss, they were able to stop the run and snatch a point from a 1-1 draw, thanks to Ethan Erhahon‘s injury-time leveller, before taking another creditable point on Saturday as they hosted promotion-chasing Derby County and played out a goalless stalemate.
Having at least put an end to their losing run with a slight uptick in recent weeks, Skubala’s side will now be desperate to bounce back to winning ways to maintain their top-half place, but they face another difficult test at the weekend.
