Lincoln Red Imps Preview – Can Lincoln RI stay in Europe?
Although they made a promising start to their qualifying campaign in the Champions League by beating Luxembourg outfit, Fola Esch, by a handsome 7-2 win on aggregate, the Gibraltar hosts were swiftly dumped out of the competition by Romanian side, CFR Cluj, losing 4-1 on aggregate in the 2nd qualifying round.
This means Lincoln Red Imps have a second bite of the European cherry when they take on Slovan Bratislava in this 3rd qualifying round but they could be facing an early exit from this competition as well.
Lincoln Red Imps have won just two of their previous nine ties overall in the Europa League and this doesn’t bode well for this two-legged affair against Slovan Bratislava.
Slovan Bratislava Preview – Can Bratislava extend run in Europa League?
Slovan Bratislava are another side who have another shot at European football this season as they registered a 1st qualifying round 3-2 win on aggregate over Irish side, Shamrock Rovers, only to narrowly lose 3-2 on aggregate against Swiss side, Young Boys in the 2nd qualifying round.
Nevertheless, in between times, Slovan Bratislava registered domestic wins against Liptovsky 4-1 away and a 2-0 home win over Trencin in the Slovakian Super Liga and although they struggled in their last appearance in the Europa League, the visitors possess greater experience at this level than their hosts.
Slovan Bratislava have lost their last five ties on the trot in the Europa League, losing home and away to Wolves along with defeats to Besiktas, Sporting Braga and KuPS, but they should have too much quality for Lincoln Red Imps here.
