Hamrun Spartans vs Lincoln Red Imps Prediction 09.07.2024 | Champions League

• Competition: Champions League Qualification
• Date: 09.07.2024
• Kickoff: 17:45 UTC +1 / 18:45 CEST
• Venue: Centenary Stadium (Ta' Qali)

Teams from national leagues with the lowest UEFA rating will have to start from the 1st round of Champions League qualification. How early this stage of the competition is also shown by the fact that the EURO has not ended yet. Malta and Gibraltar are miniature European football federations without significant success, and Hamrun and Lincoln Red Imps will try to make success by going to the next round. A much more serious rival, Quarabag, will be waiting for them there.

Hamrun finished the previous season as the champion of Malta, with 5 points more than Florian, which lost its point advantage with 3 defeats in the last 3 rounds. This team participated in the Champions League qualifiers last season against Maccabi Haifa, but they were defeated 6-1 on aggregate.

Lincoln Red Imps is a sensational participant of the Conference League from the 2021/22 season, they will try once again to make a huge success. It will be very difficult to repeat that, but Lincoln Red Imps have established themselves as the best team in Gibraltar in the past couple of years

Hamrun vs Lincoln Red Imps pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

Both have been without official matches since May and the end of the national championships. Hamrun played a friendly match against Sliem and won 3-1, so maybe they have been starting to get in shape before their rivals. On a related note, Lincoln Red Imps are quite underrated in this match. As much as Hamrun is favored, we don't believe that it is too worthwhile to bet on them, but what is very realistic is the low number of goals here. Under 2.5 goals is a great bet.
