After a draw in the first leg, Noa will look to confirm their status as favourites in front of their home fans. Lincoln Red Imps face an extremely tough task in Armenia against a side that has already proven its superiority in terms of play.
This European campaign, Noa have knocked out Budućnost Podgorica and held their own against a stronger Ferencváros side, scoring in both legs, including three goals in Budapest. In the first meeting with Lincoln, the Armenian club dominated, outshooting their opponents (13/7 in total shots, 5/2 on target). At home, Noa are traditionally strong: since mid-December 2024, they have won 14 of 15 matches with an aggregate score of 44:6.
Lincoln Red Imps represent the Gibraltar league, where the level of football is significantly below that of Armenia. In the previous round, they collapsed away to Crvena Zvezda (1:5), managing just a single shot on target. In recent years, Lincoln have only twice won away — against Hamrun and Vikingur, both weaker opponents.
Noa should have no trouble sealing progression to the next stage. The Armenians are expected to dominate again and claim a convincing victory with a comfortable margin.
