Promotion chasing Wycombe Wanderers play host to Lincoln City this weekend, as the Imps look to extend their good run.
Michael Skubala’s side have lost just one of their past four games, that away to league-leaders Birmingham City, and drew with Exeter City last time out.
Opposition: Wycombe Wanderers
Matt Bloomfield swapped his long-standing employers for Luton Town in January, and was replaced by former Sunderland academy coach Mike Dodds.
A slight drop off in results has allowed Wrexham to catch up with the Chairboys, keeping the race for second place in the division a close run thing.
Wycombe have won two of their past six games, including a late victory at Rotherham United with all five goals scored after the 65th minute. That came before the international break, when Wanderers had a week off while Lincoln hosted Exeter.
Team News:
Imps head coach Skubala confirmed pre-match that Irishman Jack Moylan was back on the grass, while midfielder Ethan Erhahon edges closer to being fit and is a few weeks away from involvement.
There was good news for Skubala in that young striker Freddie Draper was further in his rehabilitation from injury.
“He’s back into team training so it might be a bit early for him on Saturday], but he’s very close to getting back in,” the Lincoln gaffer said when quizzed about Draper potentially being available for the trip to Wycombe.
Head-to-Head:
The Chairboys were 3-2 winners early on in the season. Despite a Tendayi Darikwa brace in November, the then-Bloomfield led side won at the LNER Stadium. That had given Wanderers a four-point buffer at the summit of Sky Bet League One, though Birmingham have since shown their strength.
Wycombe have the edge overall, recording 12 wins over their opponents. Lincoln have secured victory on eight occasions alongside six draws.
Played for Both:
Plymouth Argyle defender Saxon Earley, who had his Lincoln loan cut short in January, spent a spell at Wycombe last season.
Current Braintree striker John Akinde is a more well-known figure to have played for both teams, spending a duo of loan stint at Wycombe before later signing for the Imps. The played for Lincoln between 2018 and 2020, netting 25 times before leaving for currently-Danny Cowley managed Colchester United.
