Imps have a bite for Mjallby
Mjallby AIF have a new identity and Lincoln Red Imps have a very strong one and the two will be on display when the two sides meet in Strandvallen on Tuesday.
Karl Marius Aksum has been in charge of Mjallby AIF since 1 January 2026 and has instilled a clear identity on them - possession, build from the back, flexible 4-3-3, waves of pressing and plenty of control of territory.
Lincoln Red Imps have had Juanma Pavon in charge since 1 July 2026 and he has made them a compact, disciplined side set up for control of the game - a 3-5-2 style of block that can suffocate the opposition by starving them in the middle third, counter-attacking quickly and then closing up again.
Lincoln Red Imps in better form
Lincoln Red Imps will be the more dangerous of the two teams if they can keep their shape and pick off the openings that their opponents will leave by pressing and pushing forward.
Mjallby AIF have been steady rather than explosive lately, winning four, drawing three and losing three of their last 10 matches in all competitions. The last two have been especially disappointing, a 4-4 draw away to IK Sirius FK in Allsvenskan 2026 and a 1-2 home defeat to AIK in Allsvenskan 2026.
Lincoln Red Imps, on the other hand, come into this clash in much better form than Mjallby AIF, unbeaten in their last 5, winning 3 and drawing 2 of those matches. Their most recent results have been a 3-1 home win against Inter Club d'Escaldes and a 1-1 away draw in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026.
Away win seems likely
The home advantage doesn't look like being enough for Mjallby AIF to grab the win in this game as they have only won once and lost twice in their 3 home games in all competitions this season. Their back four have conceded 3 goals in those 3 games and haven't yet gelled enough to play through the pressure of the games.
Lincoln Red Imps will be coming to Sweden in a much sharper mood, having won 7, drawn 2 and lost just 1 of their 10 matches in all competitions. They have scored an average of 3.25 goals per game on the road this year and conceded just 0.50 on average.
We are going for an away win on Tuesday, while Lincoln Red Imps appear to be a very solid unit right now.
