Lincoln Preview

Exeter City will be looking to extend the run of five unbeaten as they make the long trip to the LNER Stadium to face Lincoln City on Saturday.

Alex Hartridge's first League goal on Saturday earned City a point at Rotherham United, meaning that City have picked up nine points from their last five games.

The Grecians will travel with confidence to face a Lincoln City side in 12th place in League One, just five points ahead of City. The Imps were in fine form last time out, thrashing Bristol Rovers 5-0 at the LNER Stadium.
