Shkupi Team News
Shkupi won the title in style last season and this preseason brought in 13 new players to prepare the team for the Champions League campaign. It will be very interesting to see if they can adapt quickly because Lincoln are not an amateur and outsider opponents.
Shkupi´s coach is probably their biggest strength because they are led by former international legend Goce Sedloski. He will be motivated to progress from this round so he can have a shot at Dinamo Zagreb as he played for them before. His team is definitely a class above the guests and playing at home considered as convincing favourites but we are not sure if their win will be by a couple of goals.

Lincoln Red Imps News
Team from Gibraltar has some very solid foreign players and was very competitive in Europe last season. Lincoln eliminated Riga to enter the UEFA Conference League but lost all six group stage games. They gained experience and could be problematic for Shkupi but in the end the hosts should win.
Lincoln should be able to hold on and make the game interesting. Defensively they are sound and brought in eight new players this preseason so just like the hosts will need time to develop chemistry. It is summer and very hot at the moment so with just a few friendlies, both teams should struggle with the pace of the game.
🏆OPPONENTS: FC Shkupi 1927 are based in North Macedonia. They won the Macedonian second division title in 2014/15 before becoming the Champions of the first division for the first-ever time at the end of last season

Shkupi vs. Lincoln Red Imps Prediction
We dont expect a lot of goals in this game but Shkupi should be able to score at least a couple of goals. It is early season and teams didn´t play for two months besides the recent friendly games. This along with the heat should affect the tempo of the game.
Lincoln had quite a run last season in Europe and even participated in the UEFA Conference League group stage. They are definitely not outsiders in this matchup but there is a gulf in class and Shkupi clearly have the upper hand.
We found a unique and interesting betting combo at 22Bet. For Shkupi to win + not more than four goals in the game they are offering very solid 1.80 odds. Hosts are clearly better and should win this game but shouldn´t outclass their opponents by a large margin. On the other hand, Lincoln will not get a lot of opportunities to score so this combo seems like a must to try.
