Lincoln City, Recent FormLincoln City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 0-0 draw against Wigan Athletic.
When it comes to attacking power Michael Skubala will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 4 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at LNER Stadium, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Reading, Recent FormReading will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Oxford United, not least because of the valuable point gained.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they've conceded a goal in their 23 most recent trips.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 8 of their 9 away league games.
On an individual basis, Sam Smith will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Reading's last 6 league games.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
With no real injury worries, Lincoln manager Michael Skubala will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Reading manager Rubén Sellés ahead of this clash, with Harlee Dean (Muscle) missing out, which gives Sellés a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
