Lincoln Red Imps
On Tuesday 28 July, in the second leg of the Champions League second qualifying round, Gibraltar’s Lincoln Red Imps will face Sweden’s Mjallby at Europa Point Stadium. The game will kick off at 17:00 (BST).
Lincoln Red Imps will welcome the visitors from the north with a three-goal deficit. If anyone is expecting a miracle, you are in the wrong place.
The second qualifying round of the Champions League is the ceiling for the champions of Gibraltar. Their real level is the Conference League, where there is at least some chance. Even this upstart from Sweden is many times stronger.
In the first game Lincoln’s players sat deep in front of their own goal until the hosts had already built a comfortable three-goal lead by the 33rd minute. They can attack, but either the majority of their shots fly off target (70%), or they are blocked (another six). Even though Juanma Pavon’s side will be at home, that means nothing. Yes, Mjallby will not throw everyone forward, but the hosts simply do not have enough in terms of creative ideas, and even when they do, they lack the technique.
Mjallby are a completely average club by Swedish standards, but compared with the champions of Gibraltar they are a giant, with a squad worth ten times as much. Karl Marius Aksum will base his approach on quick transitions into attack and preventing the opposition from keeping the ball for long spells. The finishing will be done by Jacob Bergstrom, waiting for crosses, or by Aki Samuelsson cutting in from the left flank. It was those two who delivered the result in the first leg.
Mjallby do not need a thrashing to go through, but they also will not want to drop UEFA coefficient points — they still count towards the country’s tally. The visitors will try to open the scoring and then strategically control the game from there.
