Inter won back-to-back Andorran league titles last season and are aiming to keep their Champions League dream alive despite a difficult first-leg defeat.
The home side are expected to take the game to Lincoln from the first whistle, but their defence remains a suspect, having conceded in each of their last six games, dating back to last season.
Felip Ortiz's side have never progressed beyond the first qualifying round of the Champions League, but they came close last season when they pushed FCSB all the way before losing 4-3 on aggregate.
Inter are expected to have a fully fit squad available, with manager Felip Ortiz unlikely to make many changes despite the first-leg defeat.
Meanwhile, the visitors are in a commanding position after securing an impressive win at home soil, and a draw will do well for them to move into the next qualifier.
The Gibraltar champions have plenty of experience in European competition and have reached the league phase of the Conference League in the last five years.
However, the Champions League is a different level altogether. The visitors are likely to adopt a disciplined approach and look to exploit the spaces left by an attacking Inter side.
Lincoln are expected to field a similar side, with Facundo Alvarez likely to retain his place after scoring in the previous match.
