Lincoln Red Imps have won two of their previous three first round ties in Champions League qualifying, but they have a mountain to climb to win this time around. The champions of Gibraltar champions experienced a disastrous trip to North Macedonia last Tuesday, suffering a 3-0 defeat in the first leg.
As a result of the defeat, Lincoln Red Imps saw a 17-game run in all competitions come to an end, as they suffered their first competitive defeat since December 2021. With a remarkable comeback required on Tuesday, Mick McElwee’s side will draw inspiration from the fact that they have won nine of their previous 10 home matches.

Meanwhile, Shkupi may feel that the hard work has already been done after thrashing Lincoln Red Imps in the first leg to gain the upper hand in the tie. After making their Champions League debut last week, Shkupi will now prepare for their first away game in the competition.
Although they have not played an away match in Europe’s elite club competition, the North Macedonian champions have never lost a European away game by three goals or more, suggesting history is on their side ahead of the second leg. Shkupi have put one foot in the Champions League second qualifying round after defeating Lincoln Red Imps 3-0 in the first leg. The Macedonian First Football League’s current champions were knocked out in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round last season.

Lincoln Red Imps will need to take risks as they look to turn around a three-goal deficit, but we think that Shkupi will take advantage of any gaps left in behind the home defence to claim a narrow victory and subsequently book their place in the second round of qualifying.
Shkupi were able to achieve that success in the first leg despite playing with 10 men during much of the second stanza. Gagi Margvelashvili was sent off in the 54th minute following a second yellow card. The hosts were already up by two goals but were still in the ascendancy which culminated in an own goal from the visitors. Shkupi may not be able to reproduce that masterstroke but appear to possess the stamina needed to safeguard their substantial lead. Lincoln’s bid to overturn the deficit could expose them to more goals.
Shkupi 2-1 Lincoln Red Imps, as predicted by us.
