Dinamo Minsk and Lincoln Red Imps lock horns at the Mezokovesdi Városi Stadion in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round on Thursday. Both sides will be looking to secure their spot in Europe’s second-tier competition, having crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers.
Dinamo Minsk’s quest for a spot in the Champions League came to an end in the second qualifying round as they fell to a 2-1 aggregate loss against Ludogorets.
