Noah vs Lincoln Red Imps
Noah
Noah’s First Leg Performance
In the first leg played in Gibraltar, Noah generally asserted their dominance. However, Sandro Perkovic’s side had two goals disallowed, and the Armenians themselves squandered a golden opportunity to secure a winning lead at the end of the first half, conceding a follow-up goal from a penalty by Red Imps’ primary goal-scorer, Tjey De Barr (1-1). Home Advantage for Noah
While the result isn’t disastrous, the dark-whites certainly could have returned from the island with a crucial victory. Now, with the home game set in Abovyan, bolstered by the passionate support of their fans and facing an opponent keen to play open football, Noah’s attack could truly ignite. Despite holding a decisive advantage on the opponent’s field, the question of the tie’s victor was left unresolved until this decisive home leg. Noah will have all their key players available for this encounter.
Lincoln Red Imps
Lincoln Red Imps’ Tactical Approach
Much like Sandro Perkovic’s team, the side led by Spanish coach Bezarez also adopts an attacking style whenever possible, typically employing a 4-3-3 formation. Similar to Noah, Lincoln Red Imps have been fully preparing for the return leg this week, as the Gibraltarian championship, unlike the Armenian one, has not yet commenced. Until now, the red-and-black squad has been content with playing only once a week in the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers. Lincoln’s Defensive Vulnerabilities Away
Over the past month, the Red Imps conceded in four out of five matches. Notably, they shipped five goals against Crvena Zvezda away and two against Vikingur from the Faroe Islands – indicating that they tend to struggle and look disoriented when playing on foreign soil, be it natural or artificial turf. This vulnerability could well resurface in Armenia. The visitors have no squad issues. Match Prediction and Betting Tip
In my opinion, a minimum of two goals from Noah in their home encounter against the Gibraltarian champions is a highly probable outcome for Sandro Perkovic’s attack. At home, Noah is rightly considered a significant favorite by the bookmakers, which is fair given their more skilled squad, displaying higher intensity, and the excellent support from their home crowd. As I noted earlier, Lincoln appears quite weak defensively away from their home ground. While Noah’s two goals in the first leg were disallowed due to moments of weak finishing and two clear offside calls, the relentless pressure exerted by the Armenian champions, who are clearly superior in class, should undoubtedly tell in favor of the dark-white hosts. We are backing the favorite to exceed their individual goal total.
