Lincoln City face Derby County at Sincil Bank, Lincoln, Lincolnshire on Saturday, Apr 3 at 4:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Championship, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Lincoln City come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Derby County, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Lincoln City and Derby County have split their 7 meetings almost evenly (2W–2D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Lincoln City win or a draw looks most likely.
