Slavia Prague

If the Prague side fails to beat Rakow, they will indeed stop at the decisive round of European Cup qualification for the third season in a row. Last season, Slavia lost to Legia and the year before to Midtjylland.

In the current campaign, the team from Prague overcame St Josephs (4:0 away, 7:0 home) and the Panathinaikos (2:0 home, 1:1 away).

Ahead of the return leg against Rakow, Slavia thrashed Pardubice 7:0 in the Czech championship.

Rakow

Rakow has shown themselves as a tough team in the current European qualifying. The win in the first leg against Slavia was a perfect continuation of the competition. Before that, the Poles beat Astana twice (5:0 at home and 1:0 away) while they dealt with Slovakia's Spartak Trnava (2:0 away, 1:0 home).

Before the trip to Prague, Rakow didn't play a national championship game at the weekend, concentrating on preparation for the Conference League.

Expert Betting Tips

It will not be easy for Slavia in the upcoming game as Rakow hasn't even drawn in the current European competition, having won five out of five matches so far. But the Czechs are the more established side in this encounter and will need to cope with the much less experienced Poles in terms of international competition. It would be a disaster for them to drop out of the qualifiers for the third year in a row, so they will be as concentrated as they can be and make it a success even if Slavia has to play extra time to reach the group stage.
