Rakow vs Zilina Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday evening at 20:00, Rakow from Poland and Zilina from Slovakia will face each other in the 2nd preliminary round of the Conference League, the first leg. The two teams will face each other for the first time in history, the confrontation being a premiere. Both teams are the vice-champions of the first football leagues in Poland and Slovakia last season. The winning team of this match will play in the 3rd preliminary round with the winner of Zhodino and Maccabi Haifa.
Rakow:
Rakow finished second in the Polish league last season and missed out on the title in the last three rounds, losing to Jagiellonia and drawing with Korona Kielce, giving Lech Poznan the chance to win the title after a long time. The new Polish season has already started and Rakow started well after winning the first round 1-0 away against GKS Katowice, the only goal being scored by Brunes in the 51st minute. Last season, Rakow did not participate in European cups, but in previous participations in the Conference League, the best result was qualifying for the play-offs.
Zilina:
On the other hand, Zilina is the 2nd-placed team in Slovakia last season. Zilina finished the season with three consecutive defeats and 18 points behind the champion Slovan Bratislava. Zilina did not participate in the European cups last season either, but in the previous participations in the Conference League the best result was the qualification in the play-offs. 15 years ago, Zilina managed to catch a historic qualification, we can say in the UEFA Champions League groups but also a qualification in the Uefa Cup groups, the current Europa League.
