Match Preview
Early goals from Martin Sherif and Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel helped seal a surprise 2-1 away win over play-off contenders Stockport County on Tuesday night. Port Vale are already relegated but are unbeaten in their last five league games at Vale Park.
Lincoln have shown no signs of slowing down after clinching the title. A Reeco Hackett brace helped the Imps to a 4-3 home win over Wycombe last time out as Michael Skubala's men reached the 100-point mark. The visitors are unbeaten in 28, heading into their final League One contest before promotion.
