Europe - Champions League
Prediction :
Over 2.5
European regulars Red Star Belgrade will look to avoid any upsets when they travel to Gibraltar to take on the Lincoln Red Imps in the first leg of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 competition. This match is being played at the neutral Europa Point stadium on Tuesday, and our prediction is over 2.5 goals.
The winner of this two-legged tie advances to the third qualifying round of the Champions League, while the loser will be transferred to the Europa League third qualifying round.
Lincoln Red Imps overcame Vikingur in the first qualifying round (4-2 on aggregate), winning both legs. That includes a 1-0 win at this venue that they are using for European competitions.
Although Red Star presents an opponent of a higher grade, the Red Imps will be confident after continuing their scoring run this season. Including the friendlies, the Gibraltar-based side has scored two or more goals in four of their last six matches.
Red Star have a huge pedigree in European football, winning the top-tier European Cup in 1991. They have also played in the group stages of the competition for two seasons in a row and will look to avoid any upset at this early stage.
Having started the domestic season with a 4-0 win on Saturday, Red Star will travel confidently for this tie.
