Who will win Lincoln vs Twente?

Our Lincoln Red Imps vs Twente prediction is a Twente win, most likely 0:2, at the Europa Point Stadium in Gibraltar on Thursday (20:00 UK, 21:00 in Gibraltar). In the two of their last ten matches with shot data (ESPN), the Gibraltar champions landed 2.5 shots on target a game and faced 9.5; over ten games Twente land 7.1 and allow 3.3. Lincoln lost 1:2 at Brann in their Conference League opener a week ago, Twente beat Thun 1:0 at home. A Twente win is one leg of our double tonight, with Bayer Leverkusen to win at OFI Crete.

Main reasonWe back Twente because the gap in class is huge and the numbers show it: in the matches with shot data Lincoln faced 9.5 shots on target a game and landed 2.5, and in ten games they won only twice, while Twente land more than twice as many as they allow.

Key factTwente lost 1:2 at home to Utrecht on Sunday, a defeat The Stats Zone says ended a long unbeaten run; before that they beat Thun 1:0 in the Conference League, drew 1:1 at Fortuna Sittard and beat PSV 3:2 and ADO Den Haag 2:0 (ESPN). Over ten games they are 6-2-2 with 19 goals for and 10 against, and land 7.1 shots on target a game against 3.3 allowed, 68% of the shots on target in their matches. Lincoln Red Imps lost 1:2 at Brann in Bergen on 15 October, where The Stats Zone says they defended well; in qualifying they lost 0:2 at home to Larne before winning the return 3:0 after extra time, and went out to Omonia after 1:1 and 0:1. Over ten games Lincoln are 2-3-5 with 10 goals for and 15 against, with 21% of the shots on target in the matches where shots were recorded.

No team news found for Lincoln or Twente.

Lincoln

No absences reported.

Twente

No absences reported.

TacticsNone of the previews we found carries team news for either side, so we have no confirmed absences for Lincoln Red Imps or Twente and show none. Twente play at AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie on Sunday, three days after this game, so rotation is likely: part of the usual starting side may stay on the bench after a long flight to Gibraltar. Lincoln had a red card in their last match, at Brann, which may mean a suspension; we could not confirm who. Line-ups are confirmed about an hour before kick-off, and that is when we will know how many changes Twente make.

No. 07 · Scenario & score

Lincoln vs Twente predicted score

Twente break down a low block, Lincoln wait for a counter.

Lincoln will defend deep, as they did in Bergen, and Twente will have most of the ball: they take 21 shots a game over their last ten, Lincoln face 25 in the matches with shots recorded. The risk is a slow night in which Twente cannot open a packed defence, as in their 1:0 against Thun. We expect Twente to score before half-time and Lincoln to tire in the second half. 0:2 is our main score and 1:3 the alternative. Any Twente win takes this leg; a draw such as 1:1 or a Lincoln win loses it.

Twente win: why this pick wins

Why we back it

We back Twente because the gap in class is huge and the numbers show it: in the matches with shot data Lincoln faced 9.5 shots on target a game and landed 2.5, and in ten games they won only twice, while Twente land more than twice as many as they allow. Even a rotated Twente side is stronger than the Lincoln team that lost 0:2 at home to Larne in qualifying. This is the leg with less information, so we pair it with Leverkusen, a leg from a top league with five previews behind it. We expect Twente to lead at the break and see the game out calmly.

No. 09 · Arguing against ourselves

What could beat our pick?

Why Lincoln could hold Twente.

  1. Twente play at AZ three days later and may rotate after a long flight to Gibraltar.
  2. Twente scored only once in each of their last two games, 1:2 against Utrecht and 1:0 against Thun.
  3. We found no team news for either side, so the line-ups are unknown until an hour before kick-off.
  4. Lincoln have had seven days of rest, Twente four.
