Lincoln to win
Barnsley vs Lincoln
League One, 7.45pm Monday
It has been a prosperous winter for backers of Lincoln, who have won four of their last five League One matches to climb into the automatic-promotion places.
The only blot on the Imps’ recent record was a 2-2 draw at Blackpool, where they led 2-0 inside 20 minutes, and they have claimed a couple of big scalps in their last two matches.
A 2-1 home win over leaders Cardiff was followed by a 2-1 victory at highflying Stockport, where Rob Street coolly converted an injury-time penalty to seal three points for Lincoln.
They were worthy winners, having 21 shots to Stockport’s 12 on Boxing Day, and can continue their hot streak at Barnsley on Monday.
Lincoln are targeting a swift double over the Tykes as they won 3-1 in this month’s reverse fixture at Sincil Bank.
Barnsley trounced ante-post title favourites Luton 5-0 at Oakwell in November but have been slipping down the table since that triumph.
They conceded 11 goals in their last four games and may still be shellshocked after Friday’s 3-2 home defeat to Mansfield, who fought back from 2-0 down after 13 minutes.
