Lincoln Red Imps vs Ballkani Prediction and Betting Tips | 17th August 2023

Lincoln Red Imps host Ballkani at the Pristina City Stadium on Thursday for the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round.

The Gibraltar outfit were beaten 2-0 in Kosovo last week, thanks to two second-half goals from Meriton Korenica and Lorenc Trashi.

Having reached the group stages of the Conference League last year, for their first appearance in Europe, Ballkani are now on the brink of reaching the playoffs once again.

Ilir Daja's side extended their winning run to four games in all competitions at the weekend following a 1-0 victory over Liria in the Football Superleague of Kosovo.

Meanwhile, Red Imps are left to win the return leg by three or more goals to reach the playoffs. Since their appearance in the group stages of the Europa Conference League two years ago, the Gibraltar side have faced a series of disappointments in the qualifiers. In fact, this season alone, they have lost all three of their qualifying matches.

Lincoln Red Imps have been atrocious in European games this season. It's unlikely that they will win by three or more goals to overturn the deficit. In fact. Ballkani's winning run means the Kosovan outfit could cap off a double here.

Prediction: Lincoln Red Imps 0-1 Ballkani

Tip 1 - Result: Ballkani to win
