Lincoln City matchday preview

The Grecians are back on the road this Saturday making the trip to the LNER Stadium to face Lincoln City in a 3pm kick-off in League One.

City are looking to return to winning ways as they make the long trip to Lincolnshire to face an Imps side that sit in third place in the League One table. Lincoln are unbeaten in eight league matches and beat Peterborough United 3-0 last time out.

Last season both games ended in goalless draws.

To all the Grecians making one of our longest trips - we thank you for your support. Sing loud and sing proud on Saturday!
