Derby have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins, a couple of draws, and one heavy loss, so they look a bit up and down. Lincoln come in with better recent form, having won most of their last few games and only slipping up once, which suggests they are the more confident side right now.

Recent meetings between these two have been fairly tight and low on goals, though Derby did edge the most recent one. With Lincoln looking the sharper team lately, they seem the likelier to come out on top, but it should still be a close contest.
