It's generally been a miserable campaign for Lincoln, but wins over Oxford and Sunderland in recent days have finally got them heading in the right direction. You have to go all the back to April for the last time the Imps recorded three straight League One wins, but achieving that feat on Saturday could see them pull eight points clear of danger. Meanwhile, Cambridge are far from out of trouble themselves, and are struggling in the league, but produced one of the standout FA Cup results last weekend by winning at Newcastle. The U's have another inviting tie against Luton to come in the next round, but will need to return their focus to ensuring they don't get dragged into a relegation battle. But Cambridge were hammered 5-1 in the reserve fixture back in September and are winless in 15 meetings with Lincoln, dating back to a 2-1 victory in December 1995. 1:1
Lincoln City have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 home matches against Cambridge U in all competitions. Cambridge U have failed to score in their last 3 matches (League One).

Max Melbourne could be involved once again after he was recalled from his loan spell at Stevenage to help with Lincoln's absentee list, although Michael Appleton is likely to stick with the same XI that started the Sunderland win. Kai McKenzie-Lyle has been ruled out for the next couple of weeks with an injury, which means Cambridge could be unchanged from their outstanding win at Newcastle.
