Lincoln Red Imps and Larne will lock horns at Victoria Stadium in the first leg of their Conference League playoff tie, with both sides looking to put themselves in a strong position ahead of the return fixture. Lincoln Red Imps are struggling for consistency, going five games without a win in all competitions. They have also found goals hard to come by, scoring just 0.50 per game across their last four away matches, although their home record is considerably stronger. Mula and El Ghobashy could be handed starting roles after both scored as substitutes against Omonia.
Larne, meanwhile, are hoping to bounce back from their Europa League elimination against Iberia. The Northern Irish side have failed to score in six of their last 10 matches, while their away numbers are particularly concerning, with only 0.40 goals per game and a 60% failed-to-score rate. However, Larne have kept clean sheets in 60% of their last 10 outings.
As Lincoln's strong home record should prove decisive in the first leg, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Larne's matches have been particularly low-scoring).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 17:00.
