Our Predictions
Crvena zvezda's dominance at home and Lincoln's recent European resilience suggest they’ll win comfortably without the necessity of both teams scoring. The odds favor a clear home victory, and a low-scoring game keeps it all neat and tidy.
With a tight first leg and both teams capable of scoring, a draw with goals seems plausible. The odds make this a juicy option if the game opens up after a cautious start.
Lincoln’s resilient defense combined with their recent European clean sheets hints they could nick an upset and score, especially if they push for a goal early. It’s a risky punt, but the odds are tempting.
Welcome to Extratips and the latest match preview! Tonight, we get a taste of Champions League drama with Crvena zvezda hosting Lincoln Red Imps on July 29th at 19:00 local time. The first leg ended goalless (0-0), so the tie's wide open. Odds heavily favor the home side, with bet365 listing Crvena zvezda at just 1.07 to win—pretty much a banker, but hey, football’s never that simple. Lincoln’s long shots sit at 23.00 for a win, but they’ve proved stubborn, keeping clean sheets in their last three European games. Neither team has hit the back of the net yet in this tie, which makes ‘both teams to score’ a tempting 2.75 bet. Over 2.5 goals? Not so much, with odds at 1.33, signaling a cautious approach or perhaps a tight game. Crvena zvezda sits high in their domestic league, eager to build momentum, while Lincoln, from the tiny Gibraltar league, are punching above their weight. Recent head-to-heads showed a 0-0 draw—meaning anything’s possible tonight. The Serbs boast a solid attack, but Lincoln’s disciplined defense could make this tricky. Key factors? Crvena zvezda’s home advantage and their recent 4-0 win in Serbia vs Javor. On the other side, Lincoln's resilience in Europe might prevent a blowout. Expect a dominant Zvezda performance, but don’t rule out a gritty away display. Could we see a high-scoring thriller or a cautious affair? Let’s dive into the predictions.
