Tuesday night also brings us the 2nd legs of the 2nd qualifying round ties in the Europa League too, and our next featured match is the clash between Gibraltar outfit, Lincoln Red Imps, and Armenian club, Ararat-Armenia, as the betting tips continue at the Victoria Stadium.
Lincoln Red Imps Prediction – Can Lincoln Red Imps return the favour?
Tuesday’s night’s hosts, Lincoln Red Imps, now find themselves having to chase down a 2-goal deficit in this 2nd qualifying round 2nd leg.
Despite holding home advantage, this looks a tough ask for the hosts to turn this Europa League tie around, especially considering their recent results.
The home side have suffered 5 defeats on the trot in all competitions which include a domestic Premier Division loss to Mons Calpe and last week’s 1st leg loss in this tie.
To make matters worse, Lincoln Red Imps have scored just 1 goal but conceded 9 in reply, so confidence isn’t likely to be at an all-time high here.
Perhaps the one saving grace for the hosts is that all 5 of these recent defeats were inflicted upon them away from their Victoria Stadium.
On home turf, Lincoln Red Imps have won their last 6 matches overall on the trot, while their two previous Europa League ties on home soil both ended in draws.
Stalemates with Cypriot side, AEK Larnaca and Welsh Premier League club, The New Saints, both in 1-1 draws, may give the hosts a chance here.
Ararat-Armenia Prediction – Can Armenia make history?
It was an extremely successful debut in Ararat-Armenia’s first ever outing in the Europa League as they secured a 2-0 win in last week’s 1st leg at their Yerevan Football Academy.
The visitors now just have to play out these next 90 minutes in order to progress through to the 3rd qualifying round of this competition.
Although Ararat eventually suffered defeat to Swedish Allsvenskan side, AIK, in the Champions League, they gave the Swedes a major fright.
A 2-1 home win in the 1st leg would have raised more than just a few eyebrows, and although they lost 3-1 in the 2nd leg, they gave a good account of themselves.
Results overall have seen Ararat suffer just 1 defeat out of their last 9 matches in all competitions, while on the road they’ve also been solid in recent times.
2 losses out of their last 15 away matches in all competitions gives Ararat-Armenia a great chance of winning this 2nd leg and progressing to the next round.
Ararat forward Kobyalko and midfielder Avetisyan look to be the visitors’ main goal threats.
