Lincoln – QPR

Lincoln host QPR in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side sitting 16th on eight points after two wins, two draws and two defeats and a modest –1 goal difference (5‑6). QPR arrive in the top‑half at sixth place, having amassed 12 points from three victories, three stalemates and a single loss, and they boast a +3 goal difference (8‑5). The two teams have yet to meet this season, but the gap in form and points suggests the visitors will look to extend their unbeaten run against a Lincoln side desperate to climb out of the relegation zone. Both sides will be keen to improve their positions, making the encounter a potential turning point for the remainder of the campaign.
