Lincoln Red Imps vs Hamrun Prediction & Betting Tips (16 July)

28 times champion of Gibraltar and above all holder of the last four national championship titles, Lincoln hopes to do better than last year in these qualifications because he went out in the first round against Qarabag 1-6 in the two matches before being kicked in the 2nd round of the Conference League by FC Ballkani 1-5. Last week, in the first leg, the Red Imps won 0-1, scoring the only goal during their numerical superiority before closing shop ten against ten. Let us note, however, that the locals are riding a dynamic of 18 matches without defeat, 17 victories, 1 draw. Clearly, they have not lost since January 12. It is clear that the Spartans did not carry out the right operation by conceding a narrow defeat at home in the first leg, in particular because of the expulsion of Elionay from the 10th minute of play 0-1.

Thinking of returning to the mark during the expulsion of Gomez Lincoln, the Maltese team never managed to shake the string. Condemned to the feat from now on, Hamrun had nevertheless maximized her confidence by winning her only preparation match against Sliema 1-3. Last year, in the European department, the Maltese did not pass the first round of the Champions League, losing against Maccabi Haifa 1-6 in the two matches before winning against Dinamo Tbilisi in the 2nd round. of the Conference League 3-1 over the two matches and the European adventure ended in the 3rd round against the very serious Hungarian team Ferencvaros 2-8 over the two matches.

The striker with 4 goals in the league last season, Kike Gomez was sent off in the first leg and will be suspended for this 2nd round. On the other hand, the team's top scorer in the league last season, Juanfri (17 goals) is no longer part of the club, just like Liam Walker (2 pawns last year). This is not the case for De Barr (8 goals last year) who is still present like Villacanas (10 goals) or Britto (4 goals). Among the Maltese, midfielder Elionay (3 goals last season, holder) was also excluded from the first leg and will be unavailable this evening.

Same case for Djuranovic (11 goals last season) who remains injured. Note that Seth Paintsil and Jonny Torres (7 goals each in the league last season) did not participate in the first round (probably OUT this evening as well). Let us also point out the terrible crisis of skill of Mbong who did not score last season and who still has not scored in all competitions in 2024.
