Lincoln's record over the same stretch reads 8 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses, with more goals conceded than scored. Their last five has included a 4-1 win over Burnley but also a 0-6 hammering by West Ham, so the swings have been pretty extreme.

Comparative Team Statistics: Lincoln vs Wolves

Where they sit in the table

Wolves are currently 8th with 17 points from 10 games, sitting in the kind of mid-table spot that reflects their steadier results. Lincoln are down in 18th on 12 points from 11 played, with a goal difference that's well into negative territory.

That gap in points and position lines up with what the recent form shows: Wolves picking up more wins, Lincoln finding games harder to control.

It's a meaningful gap in the table, though plenty of Championship fixtures remain before this one is played.

Key names to watch

Fer López has been Wolves' main attacking outlet this season, scoring 4 goals and adding 2 assists in just 7 matches. He looks like the player most likely to influence this game going forward.

For Lincoln, F. Draper and C. McGrandles have both picked up a few yellow cards already this season. That's not confirmation either will be unavailable for this specific match, but it's a detail worth keeping an eye on as the fixture approaches.

How this one could play out

Lincoln's defence has leaked goals regularly this season, and Wolves have a reliable scorer in López to try and exploit that. At the same time, Lincoln have shown at home they can be dangerous in bursts, as that 4-1 win over Burnley demonstrated.

Wolves' away form hasn't been bulletproof either, with two defeats in their last five on the road. So while the table points one way, there's enough inconsistency on both sides to keep this from being straightforward.
