Sigma visit the Europa Sports Complex on Thursday to face Lincoln Red Imps in the UEFA Europa Conference League, aiming to extend their winning run in the competition to three games. After starting their campaign with a 2-0 loss to Fiorentina, Sigma were pegged back by Rakow Czestochowa in a late 1-1 stalemate.
But since then, the Czech side have picked themselves up, beating Noah 2-1 and then repeating the trick against Celje.
Thanks for the submission!
With seven points in the bag from four games, the Hanaci are down in 14th position in the Conference League standings, 12 points above their next opponents.
Lincoln Red Imps are one of the 12 sides currently out of contention for a place in the knockout stages after having won just once in four. Their last excursion in Europe ended in a 3-1 loss to Hamrun, but since then, the Gibraltar side have won thrice in a row – all coming in the Gibraltar National League – to rebuild momentum.
Juanjo Bezares’ side will now look to channel this momentum into Europe too as they aim to pick up their campaign and fight for a place in the knockout stages before it is too late.
