Meridianbet Match Focus: Spartans Eye First European points In Ħamrun-Lincoln RI Clash
Ħamrun Spartans return to European action this Thursday as they take on Lincoln Red Imps in a crucial UEFA Europa Conference League fixture. Still searching for their first points of the group stage, the Spartans will be hoping that their strong recent form in domestic competitions finally translates to European success.
Ħamrun enter the match with a 4-1-1 record from their last six games across all competition. Their recent defensive stability in home-designated fixtures, just one goal conceded in their last three, suggests improved structure and discipline.
Lincoln Red Imps arrive unbeaten in six matches, collecting four wins and two draws in all competitions. Their 1-1 draw against HNK Rijeka last time out showed they can compete at this level, despite conceding seven goals in three group-stage matches.
Head-to-Head
Lincoln have had the edge in recent encounters, including a previous European win in Malta and a penalty shootout victory in their last meeting.
