Lincoln – Oxford preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Lincoln vs Oxford lineups.
Lincoln
Since sacking their manager Lincoln found some form and they are now undefeated in 3 consecutive games under interim coach Shaw. On Saturday the Imps were good value for their 1-1 away draw vs Exeter.
Lincoln continue to have issues keeping clean sheets but lately, their forward actions have been better. The front line is also boosted by the return from injury of striker Bishop.
His recovery is important as the Imps still have 3 other strikers in the treatment room – House, Walker and Hackett-Fairchild.
Predicted Lineup:
Jensen (GK), Jackson, O’Connor, Roughan, Sorensen, Erhahon, Hamilton, Mitchell, Adelakun, Bishop & Smith
Oxford
Oxford extended their winless win to 3 (D2 L1) on Saturday but they were pleased to save a 2-2 draw vs Wycombe. After taking an early lead the U’s found themselves trailing. Eventually, deep in stoppage time, Brannagan saved a point for Oxford.
The recent shakiness is related to much more insecure defending. Going forward Oxford remain one of the best teams in the league.
Still without a quartet of injured players. From them, only playmaker Browne starts often when fit.
Predicted Lineup:
Beadle (GK), Brown, Moore, Long, Leigh, Brannagan, McGuane, Goodrham, Rodrigues, Bodin & Harris
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Player to Watch: Greg Leigh
Oxford’s left-back Greg Leigh joined the team relatively late. However, in just 9 league appearances since his arrival, the explosive full-back has scored 5 goals and he is Oxford’s top goalscorer right now.
Leigh spends more time in attack than in defence these days and his ability to make runs from deep and to place powerful long-range shots on target makes him a player to watch.
