Their season record stands at 8 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses. At home, Barnsley has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, scoring 20 goals and conceding 14, averaging 2.22 goals scored and 1.56 goals conceded per home game. Lincoln City, the away team, is currently ranked 2nd. Their season record is 12 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses. Lincoln City's away record is 4 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, with 12 goals scored and 13 conceded, averaging 1.09 goals scored and 1.18 goals conceded per away game. Looking at recent form, Barnsley has scored 15 goals and conceded 20 in their last 10 matches, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses. Lincoln City has scored 16 goals and conceded 14 in their last 10 matches, with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. Considering the performances of Barnsley and Lincoln City this season, and their recent form, I believe Lincoln City, as a promotion contender, has a clear advantage in overall strength and form. They are currently second in the league and have an excellent record of 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 6 matches, indicating high morale. While Barnsley is playing at home, their recent performance has been inconsistent, and there are defensive issues. Lincoln City has the advantage in head-to-head records and overall strength, and they are competitive away from home, making them more likely to secure the three points and consolidate their promotion position. 1-2 0-2
