This has the makings of a really exciting early kick-off clash with the top two sides in League One going head-to-head - having just one point between them. The meeting between the sides earlier in the season produced exactly three goals as Lincoln ran out 2-1 winners over Cardiff. That clash saw both sides register an xG in excess of 1.0 (1.26-1.80) from 29 match shots overall.
Cardiff have seen 3+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions, winning four of those games, most recently putting four goals past Doncaster on the road without reply. Cardiff have scored more goals than any other side in League One at home this season - netting 42 goals across their 17 matches in front of their own supporters (2.47 per game).
Lincoln won’t be short of confidence ahead of this clash either; they’re unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, seeing 3+ goals in three of those games. Lincoln have seen 39 goals across their 16 away matches in League One this term - working out to an average of 2.43 goals per game. Both sides are in good form, and know that a win here would be massive for their chances of finishing top of the pile and earning promotion to the Championship.
