epfpmoran December 31, 2025 0

Lincoln City welcome Huddersfield Town to the LNER Stadium for their Football League One clash on Thursday, New Year's Eve. The hosts aim to stay within the ranks of leaders Cardiff City, who are just three points clear at the top of the league table.

With three wins in their last three matches, the Imps are breathing fire at the moment as they are also undefeated in their last six league matches.

In the club's seventh consecutive campaign in the Third Division, the prospects of direct promotion to the Championship look good for Lincoln at the moment.

Huddersfield are also on fire at the moment, winning their last three League One games to climb to fifth place and demonstrate their promotion credentials.

After a brief slump from late November to mid-December, the Terriers beat Rotherham 3-1 to give themselves some breathing space before a resounding 5-0 defeat to Port Vale. In their final match of 2025, Lee Grant's side beat Northampton 2-0 to continue their progress.

Lincoln, however, present their toughest challenge of the last four games as Huddersfield's mettle will be truly tested here. The Imps (23) have the best defensive record after Stevenage (17), Bolton Wanderers (21) and Bradford City (21) for the number of goals conceded.
