BOSTON-LINCOLN

Lincolnshire derby tonight and this is the biggest game of the season for the home side.


Unfortunately they come into the match in terrible shape, on the back of an awful 3-0 home defeat to Rochdale at the weekend and likely to be without at least 3 and probably 5 senior players. Confidence at the club is extremely low.


The contrast at Lincoln could hardly be greater, they had a fine 3-1 win away to Wycombe, who were on a run of 8 straight wins, come with no new injuries and full of confidence. The Imps have sold out their allocation of tickets and will have over 2,000 travelling supporters cheering them on. Victory tonight will take them to the top of the table, having suffered so much playoff heartache in recent years, they will be looking for automatic promotion this time round.

Lincoln have made big strides off the pitch too, especially on the commercial side.

They look a strong bet on paper, but derby matches are rarely that straight forward, so I am only going to suggest a small wager on the visitors.

However, going to take the unusual step of advising a second bet on the match and that can only be on the "over".

Boston are over in 8 from 10 this season and in each of the last 5, Lincoln are over in 9 of their last 10. Both clubs have averaged exactly 3.5 goals in all matches, in a division where the mean is just over 2.6.

3 points lincoln -1/4 goal 1.95 asian line.
5 points over 2.5 goals Lincoln-Boston 1.94 asian line.

Good Luck.
