Match Analysis
Lincoln enter this fixture in imperious form, having won their last 5 matches and boasting the league's best home record. Their defence has been outstanding, conceding just once in their last 5, while their attack is efficient, averaging 2.4 goals per game in that span. Rotherham, by contrast, are in the relegation zone, with just 3 away wins all season and only 0.6 goals scored per game across their last 5. Lincoln's dominance is further highlighted by their 14 home wins and a goal difference of +37. Although Rotherham have a surprisingly strong head-to-head record, recent form and underlying metrics suggest a comfortable home win with a high likelihood of a clean sheet.
