Rakow vs Arda prediction

Polish sides such as Legia Warsaw and Jagiellonia Bialystok did well in this competition last season and both will be hoping to again perform well alongside Rakow Czestochowa. Rakow have reached this round as a result of coming from behind to defeat Israeli Premier League side Maccabi Haifa by two goals to one on aggregate.

They now face an Arda side that come into this one on the back of a comfortable 2-0 defeat of Kauno Zalgiris last week, completing a 3-0 aggregate victory in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Bulgarians are now unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions.

Arda will be expected to have quite a defensive and low-scoring approach to this tie, but Rakow would have to be viewed as firm favourites for this one, especially at home.

Rakow vs Arda tip: Rakow to win
