Swansea striker Adam Idah has scored three times in seven Championship appearances this season.

Lincoln moved up to eighth place after Tuesday's 1-0 victory at Bristol City and they will be striving to stay inside the play-off places when taking on promotion-chasing Swansea at ProAmpac Stadium on Saturday.

After spending 65 years outside of the top two divisions, Lincoln are enjoying every moment of Championship football.

They have been positive as well as tactically astute and are on a decent run, with 11 points taken from their last five games.

Second tier survival will be the aim for Lincoln joint managers Tom Shaw and Chris Cohen, who are doing their utmost to maintain the high standards which underpinned last season’s League One title triumph.

But there are 39 difficult games to go, starting with a fixture against a Swans side brimming with confidence after last Saturday's 3-1 success at home to Burnley.

The Welshmen have won two of their three away fixtures and they will make the trip to Lincolnshire with every intention of adding another three points.

Team news

No fresh injuries are reported by the hosts, but Lincoln remain without injured trio Tom Hamer, Tendayi Darikwa and Mason Melia.

For the Swans Cameron Burgess (Achilles) is a long-term absentee, Ross Stewart will not return until after the international break and Josh Key (hamstring) is a doubt.

The stats

Swansea have scored in each of their last seven away matches and both teams have scored in four of the Swans' last five games on the road.

The Welshmen have opened the scoring in three of their last five fixtures.

All of Lincoln's last five league matches have featured less than three goals, with the Red Imps having lost one of their last 20 home fixtures.

Seven of Lincoln's last eight league games have generated less than four goals.

Prediction

Swansea are making rapid progress under Portuguese head coach Vitor Matos and can maintain their promotion push by inflicting a third loss of the season on their hosts.

The Swans are averaging two points per game despite a modest two-goal contribution from star striker Zan Vipotnik, who was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League during the summer transfer window.

Vipotnik started the season on the substitute's bench and is struggling to get back into the side because his replacement, Adam Idah, has seized his chance.

Republic of Ireland Idah has netted three goals in seven appearances and could increase that tally against the Imps, who could be edged aside in a fairly tight, low-scoring contest.
