Pontefract Collieries host Lincoln United on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the Northern Premier League – East Division, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Pontefract Collieries come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Lincoln United, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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