Cardiff vs Lincoln
Predictions
Stats
Odds
Cardiff are going through a rough patch - they haven't won any of their last five games, with four losses and a draw, and they've been conceding a lot of goals along the way. Lincoln, on the other hand, are in much better shape, having won three of their last five, including a big away win, though they also lost heavily in one match.
When these two met recently, both games were close and both teams found the net, so plenty of goals could be on the cards again. Given Cardiff's struggles and Lincoln's stronger recent form, Lincoln look the more likely side to come out on top, though it should still be a fairly tight contest.
