Team News

Mjallby are missing winger Timo Stavitski, who has been out injured since May, but Sweden left-back Elliot Stroud returned to the squad for Friday's draw with VSK following his World Cup efforts and he is in line to start.

Lincoln Red Imps played a 3-5-2 formation in the first leg of the last round and then adopted a 4-3-3 in the reverse fixture. Head coach Juanma Pavon is expected to go with the latter formation for this tie.

Mjallby vs Lincoln Red Imps

Mjallby are 1/7 favourites to pick up the win on home soil, with the draw priced at 6/1 and the Red Imps 14/1 to claim the spoils.

It is 6/4 for both teams to score and 4/7 for there to be at least three goals.

Both teams to score @ 6/4

Mjallby won the Swedish Allsvenskan for the first time last year, finishing some 13 points ahead of Hammarby, but they are enduring a miserable title defence in 2026.

Karl Marius Aksum's side are 10th in the standings after 13 matches, leaving them closer to rock-bottom Halmstad than table-toppers Sirius.

Attention now switches to a European affair as Mjallby aim to gain a first-leg advantage in their Champions League second-round qualifier.

However, visitors Lincoln Red Imps will be no pushovers and they are unbeaten in their last 19 matches, last losing in January.

The Red Imps will fancy their chances of taking a positive result back to Europa Point Stadium and 14/1 for the win seems generous, but the safer play here looks to be backing both teams to score.

Despite Mjallby's domestic issues, they have managed to score at least once in four of their last five league games, but just one clean sheet in their last nine competitive fixtures highlights the defensive problems.

The Red Imps have scored in 14 successive matches, evidence of their attacking prowess, but one clean sheet in their last six outings shows they are fragile at the back.

Aki Samuelsen anytime goalscorer @ 13/10

Faroe Islands international Aki Samuelsen has been in good goalscoring form for Mjallby, netting five goals in his last five appearances (including friendlies).

The 22-year-old midfielder will fancy his chances of adding to his tally against a Red Imps defence that has kept just one clean sheet in the last six fixtures.
