Lincoln Red Imps vs Red Star Belgrade Prediction: Big away win expected

The Uefa Champions League qualifiers continue on Tuesday night from across the continent, and Lincoln Red Imps will look to cause a shock as they host Red Star Belgrade at Europa Sports Park (17:00 BST).

The Gibraltan champions face a big task, but they are bang in form, and below you can find my Lincoln Red Imps vs Red Star Belgrade predictions. 

Team News 

Lincoln Red Imps are likely to name the same XI that beat Vikingur over two legs, as they secured a 3-2 win on the road, followed by a 1-0 win on home soil. Kike Gomez will start as part of the attacking trio, alongside Victor and second-leg goalscorer Tjay De Barr. 

Graeme Torrilla will start in midfield along with the experienced Bernardo Lopes and Ethan Britto. At the back, Nano, Rafael Munoz, Christian Rutjens and Toni may play, although Jesus Toscano is pushing for a start. Nauzet Santana will hope to make it back-to-back clean sheets in this competition.

Red Star got their league campaign underway with a 4-0 win at the weekend, and they are likely to stick with the majority of that line-up. Captain Mirko Ivanic scored twice from the left, Rade Krunic also found the net from midfield while Bruno Duarte also scored off the bench.

Cherif Ndiaye will hope to hold onto his starting spot up front but he faces competition from Duarte, while teenage centre-back Veljko Milosavljevic is expected to start once more alongside Milos Veljkovic. 

Lincoln Red Imps vs Red Star Belgrade Odds

Lincoln Red Imps have been priced at 14/1 to win this game, while Red Star Belgrade are the massive favourites at 1/8. That gives the away side an implied win probability of 89% heading into this tie, with a draw available at 11/2. 

Over 2.5 goals can be backed at 8/15, BTTS is 6/4 and Lincoln Red Imps are 10/1 to be leading at half-time. 

Red Star Belgrade to win to nil @ 4/6

This one should be relatively straightforward despite the cracking run of form that Lincoln Red Imps are currently on. They’ve kept clean sheets in all but one of their last six games and are on a winning streak of nine in a row. There is no doubt that they are the best team in Gibraltar and that doesn’t look like changing anytime soon, but we have to take that recent run of form and add some perspective.

Domestically, they don’t face any serious challenges and while the win over Vikingur was good, they are only competing in the Faroe Islands. Red Star Belgrade are a massive upgrade on anybody they have faced in 2025 and the last time they played a team from Gibraltar - Europa in 2020/21 - they secured a 5-0 victory. 

They are the highest-ranked Serbian club in the latest Uefa rankings (50th) and should be able to secure an away win against this in-form outfit. Lincoln Red Imps only conceded seven league goals last season, but they are going to find life tough in this one. 

Lincoln Red Imps 0-3 Red Star Belgrade @ 5/1

I’m going to back a comfortable away here with a clean sheet to boot and with limited other markets for us to back for this fixture, a punt on the correct score makes the most sense to me. 

Red Star have been a decent goalscoring outfit at a good level, although I think the home side will put up a decent fight. I think 3-0 is a good price at 5/1 and so I will tip that as my second selection.
