Recent respective form guides
Bury could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! The Shakers have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 0 of their own chances.
Lincoln City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The Red Imps have conceded 8 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
Bury find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 9 points from their 8 matches. Lincoln City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 9 points from their 8 games played so far,
