Week 16 brings us a match on Oct 22nd where Lincoln City plays host to Sheffield Wednesday in a clash of these two extremely mismatched League One teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Lincoln City recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Ipswich Town. Ben House scored the first goal for Lincoln City in the 24th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Ipswich Town couldn’t muster any offence and Lincoln City ran away with the shutout win. Lincoln City is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while sheffield Wednesday is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Cambridge United. Lee Gregory scored the first goal for Sheffield Wednesday in the 6th minute, then Lee Gregory added another in the 77th minute In the end, Cambridge United was frustrated by Sheffield Wednesday’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sheffield Wednesday ended the match with the shutout victory. Sheffield Wednesday is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Lincoln City won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Sheffield Wednesday is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Barry Bannan and Lee Gregory each having 2 goals in their last 5. Lincoln City has been fortunate! In the last five matches, both Jack Diamond and Ben House are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Lincoln City and look to continue their dominance.
