We said: Lincoln City 2-1 Wigan Athletic

While it is hard to separate these two teams, Lincoln City are unbeaten in their last three league outings and know that a win could see them end the day level on points with Wrexham. The hosts meanwhile have displayed up and down form so far this season, and even with last weekend's superb showing away at Bristol Rovers, we believe the Imps have enough to just get over the line and take all three points.
