History of the Lincoln City v Barnet fixture

Barnet face a trip to Lincoln City at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League Two match.
