On the 27th of February in League 1, England's third tier division, at the LNER Stadium, Lincoln City will play against Shrewsbury Town. Let's take a look at the teams' condition and make a decision that might expand our bank.
The Imps are gently weaving between divisions. Last year the boys showed middling results and ended up in the 11th spot. Currently, they hold the 10th position in the league table.
In the 30th match of the season, they managed to secure a victory, defeating Burton Albion with a minimal score. Next, they claimed a win against Fleetwood with a score of 2:1. In the following match, the team once again drew with Charlton (1:1). After that, they claimed a victory over Exeter City (1:0). While in the last round, they defeated Port Vale with a score of 2:0.
The team has been in the third league for a long time. But they haven't shown particularly great results, always ranking between 16th and 18th spots. The 2017/2018 season, when they managed to climb to the 3rd spot and reach the playoffs for a chance to play in the Championship, was an exception. However, they lost in overtime to Rotherham 1:2 in the final match. Right now, Shrewsbury holds the 19th position with 38 points in their assets.
After a defeat from Cambridge United (1:2), they had a draw with Derby County (1:1). Next, the team drew with Barnsley (1:1). Then they lost to Wigan with a minimal score. But in the latest round, they managed to secure a victory over Reading with a score of 3:2.
The most recent head-to-head match between Lincoln and Shrewsbury was on the 19th of August 2023. That encounter ended with a narrow victory for the Imps.
Lincoln is performing reasonably well at the moment, having almost completely rid themselves of defeats. They have two consecutive home victories, although Shrewsbury is also showing good results away. However, I think the visitors will fail, therefore I suggest betting on Lincoln's victory.
I think that here the teams will not display a high-scoring game, therefore I suggest betting on TU (total under) 2.5.
