We said: Lincoln City 2-1 Bolton Wanderers

Although Lincoln have lost seven of the previous eight meetings with Bolton, the Imps' current form on home soil and Bolton's struggling results present Skubala's men with an opportunity after a five-year wait. We expect the hosts to finally end their wait for success in this matchup and disrupt the Trotters' playoff ambitions. Read more.
