Crvena Zvezda vs Lincoln Red Imps prediction 29.07.2025 | Champions League qualification

• Competition: Champions League qualifications
• Date: Tuesday, 29th July 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade)

On Tuesday night in Belgrade, Crvena Zvezda will host Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps in the second leg of the Champions League qualifications. In the first match, the Serbian team won only 1-0. The game was largely affected by the red card Young-woo Seol got late in the second half. Since then, the teams were pretty even, and the home side could even avoid defeat. 

Crvena Zvezda are a dominant force in Serbian football. However, another title in domestic football will not mean much to them if they miss the Champions League. Last year, Crvena Zvezda ended 29th in the standings and they surely expect improvement. The club from Belgrade started the season brilliantly with three wins in a row. In the previous match, they won 7-1 at home against OFK Beograd. 

Lincoln Red Imps are the best football team in Gibraltar over the last few years. However, they still didn't play in any group phase in the European competitions. Last year, the team from Victoria Stadium was close to the Conference League, but they lost in the playoff against Larne. This year, Lincoln Red Imps started with a 4-2 win on aggregate score in the Champions League first qualification round against Vikingur. From the moment when Juan Jose Bezares' team got Crvena Zvezda on a draw, it was clear that they would have a tough task, but they will at least continue their European journey even with a defeat. 

Crvena Zvezda vs Lincoln Red Imps pick: Over 3.5 goals

Crvena Zvezda are showing a brilliant attacking form lately. They scored 12 goals in the last three matches and would probably score even more if Seol hadn't received a red card in the first match against Lincoln Red Imps. We should see a high-scoring game and a big Crvena Zvezda win on Tuesday night.
