Lincoln have won only one of the last seven league and cup meetings

Ipswich Town News and Form – League One high flyers to go through?
Having been relegated from the EFL Championship after a long stay in the second tier, Ipswich Town are not planning to be in League One for long. The Tractor Boys sit second in the table, three points behind leaders Wycombe Wanderers with two games in hand. Paul Lambert’s men have the best away record in the third tier, taking an impressive 22 points from a possible 27.
Ipswich have been in patchy form of late, though, losing half of their last six in all competitions. Meanwhile, after drawing 1-1 with Lincoln at Portman Road in the FA Cup, Town were beaten by Colchester United in the EFL Trophy last Tuesday night.
Gaining promotion back to the Championship will be Ipswich’s main aim this season, but the League One high flyers are more than capable of having a good run in the FA Cup.

Lincoln City vs Ipswich Town Predictions
Ipswich Town win: Lincoln have found life tough going since the Cowley brothers opted to move to the John Smith’s Stadium back in September. However, the club did perform well at Portman Road earlier in the month to force this replay.
With Ipswich going for promotion back to the Championship, Town have bigger fish to fry this season. Having said that, Lambert’s boys should see off Lincoln at Sincil Bank in midweek. The Tractor Boys are nicely priced at 2/1 to get the win and progress through to round two.
Ipswich have picked up five 1-0 away wins this season, and the club from Suffolk are available at the generous odds of 15/2 to win by that same scoreline on Wednesday evening.
