Lincoln Red Imps hosts Fola Esch in the second leg of the Champions League qualification 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 13th at Victoria Stadium (Gibraltar)
Lincoln Red Imps are rightfully considered the best team in their tiny enclave. They have become the champions of Gibraltar 25 times. After the region was accepted into UEFA, the path to European cups has opened up. Lincoln usually starts its way in the Champions League qualification and beats its first opponent. But then the club slows down. The last draw was formally an exception (for the better), but Pristina suffered a forfeit defeat due to the coronavirus (0-3). Yes, Red Imps beat Union Titus Petange, but then they conceded five unanswered goals from Glasgow Rangers.

Fola players cannot talk about themselves as some kind of analog of Lincoln. In the duchy, the competition between the clubs is higher, and before the victory in 2021, this team had only eight titles. Moreover, for more than 80 years (from 1930 to 2013), there was not a single such trophy. However, Fola Esch regularly plays in qualifications for European competitions, albeit mainly in the Europa League. But, with rare exceptions (in 2017, they managed to eliminate as many as two opponents, namely, Milsami and Inter from Baku), the Red-and-Whites lose to their first opponents at the international level. Now it is also difficult to count on overall success. The first leg was played on the pitch of Fola, and the Red-and-Whites hardly brought it to a draw. On the other hand, the hosts made a comeback: Lincoln was leading 2-0 by the 50th minute, but then it conceded twice with an interval of one minute.
Obviously, Fola Esch will not give up and will try to win in Gibraltar and advance to the next round. The clubs have shown that they can play interesting football, and we are waiting for Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
