Rakow Czestochowa vs Slavia Prague -When Rakow Czestochowa lost to Gent 1-3 on aggregate in the UEFA Europa Conference League last season, it was their first involvement in any European competition.
They have advanced to the same stage of the same competition this time, but they now perhaps face an even greater obstacle to overcome in order to reach the group stage.
The opposition includes teams like Slavia Prague, who have recently participated frequently in the knockout stages of European championships.
During the 2018–19 season, the Czechs participated in the Europa League quarterfinal. The following year, they advanced to the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Before making it to the Conference League quarterfinals last season, they then again reached the Europa League quarterfinals in 2020–21.
Slavia Prague struggled to even secure this berth in the UEFA Europa Conference League during the previous season of the Czech Liga.
However, the group-stage team coached by long-time manager Jindich Trpisovsky appears prepared to advance once more after their brutal performances against St. Joseph’s and Panathinaikos in the previous two qualifying rounds.
Trpisovsky should be especially happy with his team’s recent offensive performance because Slavia Prague scored seven goals in their last two domestic league wins over Zlin and Jablonec.
Rakow is yet to concede in this Conference League season after defeating Spartak Trnava 3-0 and Astana 6-0 in the preliminary rounds.
It will be fascinating to observe how the tough Polish defence handles Slavia Prague’s in-form attacking line in this match.
Rakow Czestochowa vs Slavia Prague – Betting Analysis
Football is played with a strong emphasis on defence by Rakow. They have been performing quite well in Conference League so far this summer, but Slavia Prague will be the most challenging opponent they have faced so far.
We believe that the home team has what it takes to go through the first leg of the match without suffering a loss, thus we will focus our attention on the draw as the primary betting option at odds of 3.20.
The Under 2.5 goals FT is another tempting bet with odds of 1.80, especially considering how difficult it has been to score against Rakow in Europe up to this point.
This will be the very first time that these two teams go up against one another in a head-to-head competition.
