The Gibraltar champions were comprehensively beaten 3-0 in the first leg and now require a remarkable comeback to keep their Champions League dream alive.

While the task is difficult, Lincoln's outstanding home record offers them a glimmer of hope heading into the decisive encounter.

Mjallby travel to Gibraltar with one foot already in the third qualifying round after a dominant first-leg display.

However, the Swedish side have struggled away from home in recent weeks, failing to win their last four competitive away matches.

Lincoln Red Imps have won nine consecutive home games across all competitions, making this an intriguing contest despite the visitors holding a commanding aggregate advantage.

Kick-off: 7:00 PM (Kenyan Time), Tuesday 28 July

Venue: Europa Sports Complex, Gibraltar

Group: UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round (Second Leg)

Current standings: Mjallby lead the tie 3-0 on aggregate.

Qualification implications: The winner on aggregate advances to the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round to face either Iberia 1999 or Slovan Bratislava, while the loser drops into the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.

Team News

Lincoln Red Imps

🟢 No major injury concerns reported.

🟡 Expected to retain a similar starting XI despite the first-leg defeat.

Mjallby AIF

Timo Stavitski – Back injury (doubtful).

Max Nielsen – Knock (late fitness test).

Player to Watch: Aki Samuelsen (Mjallby AIF)

Aki Samuelsen starred in the first leg by scoring twice and was the biggest attacking threat throughout the match.

His pace, movement and ability to exploit space behind defenders make him a constant danger on the counterattack.

With Lincoln expected to attack from the first whistle, Samuelsen should find even more space in transition. If he produces another clinical performance, he could effectively end any hopes of a Red Imps comeback.

Best Bets

🟢 Safe Bet (Low Risk): Lincoln Red Imps or Draw (Double Chance)

🟡 Smart Bet (Medium Risk): Both Teams to Score – Yes

🔴 Long Shot (High Risk): 1-1 Draw


BETTING GUIDE: GNK Dinamo Zagreb vs FC Thun

GNK Dinamo Zagreb return to Stadion Maksimir knowing that home advantage could prove decisive as they welcome Swiss champions FC Thun for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League second qualifying round tie.

The first meeting ended in a 1-1 draw after Miha Zajc rescued the Croatian champions with a late equaliser, ensuring everything remains to play for in Zagreb.

Dinamo enter the contest in outstanding form, extending their unbeaten run to 23 matches across all competitions and looking every bit the experienced European side.

Thun, meanwhile, earned confidence from a 3-1 Swiss Super League victory over Luzern over the weekend, but their long-running defensive struggles and inability to keep clean sheets could make life difficult against a Dinamo side that rarely drops points at home.

Kick-off: 9:00 PM (Kenyan Time), Tuesday 28 July

Venue: Stadion Maksimir, Zagreb, Croatia

Group: UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round (Second Leg)

Current standings: Tie level at 1-1 on aggregate.

Qualification implications: The winner on aggregate advances to the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, while the loser drops into the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round.

Team News

GNK Dinamo Zagreb

Luka Stojkovic – Suspended (European competition).

🟢 No other major injury concerns reported.

FC Thun

Mats Seiler – Groin injury (out).

🟡 Christopher Ibayi – Could return to the starting lineup.

Player to Watch: Dion Drena Beljo (GNK Dinamo Zagreb)

Dion Drena Beljo remains Dinamo's biggest attacking threat after a prolific campaign last season.

Although he missed his best chance in the first leg, the striker will be eager to make amends in front of the home supporters.

Beljo's intelligent movement inside the penalty area and clinical finishing make him the player most likely to unlock Thun's vulnerable defence.

If Dinamo dominate possession as expected, he should receive plenty of opportunities to get on the scoresheet.

Best Bets

🟢 Safe Bet (Low Risk): Dinamo Zagreb to Qualify

🟡 Smart Bet (Medium Risk): Under 3.5 Total Goals

🔴 Long Shot (High Risk): Dinamo Zagreb to Win 3-1
