At the Polish Army Stadium on 18 December 2025, Legia Warszawa host Lincoln Red Imps FC in a Conference League fixture that carries very different motivations for the two sides, with the hosts already eliminated and the visitors still chasing a historic qualification.
Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals
This matchup points toward a cautious and controlled contest rather than an open shootout. With Legia struggling for confidence and Lincoln likely to prioritise security, a high-scoring game appears unlikely.
Legia in a Prolonged Crisis
Legia Warszawa’s season has unravelled dramatically. Just months after reaching the quarter-finals of this competition, they now find themselves eliminated from the group stage after four defeats in five matches. Domestic form offers little comfort, with Legia slipping to the penultimate place in the Polish league standings and extending their winless run to eleven matches across all competitions. Confidence is visibly low, and attacking fluency has been difficult to sustain, especially against organised opposition.
Lincoln Chasing History with Caution
Lincoln Red Imps arrive with a rare opportunity to progress to the knockout rounds, currently occupying the final qualifying position. Their campaign has been built largely on impressive home results, while away performances have exposed clear limitations, as shown by defeats to Hamrun and Zrinjski by 3-1 and 5-0 respectively. Aware of those shortcomings, Lincoln are likely to adopt a pragmatic and defensive approach, focused on preserving their position rather than chasing a risky result.
