The only previous meeting between these two teams, last September, ended in a 1-0 win for West Ham United, a scoreline that says Lincoln City were not brushed aside easily. This time the context is rather different, because West Ham United are in a spell where their attack is working hard, while Lincoln City must play at home where they have yet to collect results reliably. Lincoln City have just lost 0-3 in their latest match, and before that they also lost 1-2, meaning their last two matches have brought no win at all. The hosts' attack has scored only 7 goals from 9 league matches, a figure that says the chances they create per match are still not plentiful. As for West Ham United, they have just won 6-0 in the league and have already scored 23 goals from 9 matches; they are clearly a team that holds more of the ball and shoots on target more. But their last two matches were both draws, 1-1 and 2-2, so they are not arriving in form that blows every opponent away. This game is likely to take the shape of West Ham United dominating possession and pushing high up the pitch, while Lincoln City sit back in a block and wait to counter. If the hosts do not concede early, the game will stretch out further, and Lincoln City's chances of taking at least a point will rise with the rhythm they are comfortable with.
