On 6th April in League 1, England's third tier division, Lincoln will face Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium. Let's take a look at the teams' current status, and try to make a decision that could increase our bankroll.

The team has been out of League 1 for a long time, and finally they got relegated from the Championship last season, having finished 23rd in the league table. The beginning of the season was not successful for the team, due to financial problems the club was deducted 4 points, placing them currently in the 18th position.

Then, they suffered a defeat against Derby (1:2). After that, they managed to win against Cambridge scoring (4:0). In the next match, the team clinched a narrow victory over Northampton. However, their last game ended with a heavy loss against Bolton with a score line of (2:5).

Lincoln

The "Imps" are slowly maneuvering between the divisions. Last year, the team performed averagely, landing on the 11th spot. Current season holds them in the 6th position in the league table. In the 37th match of the season, Lincoln claimed a big away win over Barnsley scoring (5:1).

Their stellar performance continued when they defeated Cambridge with a massive score of (6:0). Subsequently, they won against Bristol Rovers with a score of (5:0). After this, they grabbed a narrow victory against Leyton. Their recent match saw them clinching an away victory over Carlisle scoring (3:1).
