Sports Mole previews Tuesday's League One clash between Rotherham United and Lincoln City, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

League leaders Rotherham United shall be looking to grow their gap at the top of the table on Tuesday when they face Lincoln City, who find themselves in 14th right now.

The visitors head into the game with some confidence after picking up three points in their most recent outing, while the Millers want to get back to winning ways.


Match preview

Rotherham United sit top of the table right now, with a four-point gap ahead of Wigan Athletic; however, the Latics do have two games in hand, which actually gives them an advantage if they can win those matches.

That puts further pressure on the Millers as they look to finish the season as champions, but after losing only six fixtures all season, there should be no shortage of confidence within the squad.

Paul Warne's team were held to a goalless draw at the weekend though, which marked the third league game in a row that they have not been able to claim a victory.

Rotherham drew with Shrewsbury Town and were also defeated by MK Dons recently, and these are the types of results that have opened the door for Wigan to put some pressure onto them.

However, the Millers have been strong at home this season, losing only three times, conceding 16 goals, which is something that should help the club push themselves to keep up their performance level.

The visitors have been struggling as of late, winning just two of their six most recent outings, but one of those came this past weekend, which will no doubt have provided plenty of confidence to them.

Despite the fact that they finished the game with 10 men due to Brooke Norton-Cuffy being sent off, goals from Lewis Fiorini and Teddy Bishop proved to be enough for a 2-0 victory.

The result helped them close the gap towards the top half of League One, currently being eight points way, which is something Michael Appleton will be pushing for his team to achieve.

Away from home the Imps have had mixed form, winning six, losing seven, and drawing the other four, and the squad will be pushing to get slightly more consistency if they can.

Lincoln City were able to take a point when they last faced Rotherham, with Fiorini getting on the scoresheet, providing an equaliser after Michael Smith had given his team the advantage as the game ended 1-1, which both teams will be hoping to improve upon this time.

Team News

Jamie Lindsay was unavailable for Rotherham at the weekend after picking up an injury in the previous game, and that is something that could see him miss out again on Tuesday night.

Rarmani Edmonds-Green was back in the matchday squad on Saturday, and while he was not fit enough to start, the defender is pushing towards making a return to the squad.

Josh Griffiths is out of action for the remainder of this season for the Imps due to an ankle injury, and Jordan Wright will continue to get opportunities in goal because of that.

Lincoln will certainly be without Norton-Cuffy due to suspension, and that could lead to Teddy Bishop getting an opportunity from the first whistle in midweek.

Rotherham United possible starting lineup:
Vickers; MacDonald, Wood, Ihiekwe; Barlaser, Wiles, Rathbone, Ferguson, Harding; Smith, Ogbene

Lincoln City possible starting lineup:
Wright; Poole, Eyoma, Walsh; Bishop, Fiorini, Sorensen, Maguire, Whittaker; Marquis, Hopper


We say: Rotherham United 2-0 Lincoln City

Rotherham United need to get back to winning ways in the league, and that is something they shall be hoping to make happen immediately this Tuesday.

They have plenty of quality within the team across all areas of the pitch, and that should be enough to see them through in this particular fixture.
