Rakow Preview – Can Rakow continue run?
Polish club, Rakow Czestochowa, will play host to Belgian outfit Gent at their Stadion GKS-u in the 1st leg of this play-off tie in the Europa Conference League, looking to get an early foot-hold in this two-legged affair on Thursday night.
Rakow have progressed through the early qualifying rounds of this inaugural competition thanks to wins against Lithuanian side, Suduva and Russian outfit, Rubin Kazan, but the hosts have scraped through in unconvincing style.
Rakow needed penalties to beat Suduva while extra-time was needed to see off Rubin Kazan, and they now face a tough encounter against Gent.
Gent Preview – Can Gent grab result?
Gent have also progressed through the early qualifying rounds of this season’s Europa Conference League as the Belgian club recorded a 4-2 win on aggregate against Norwegian club, Valerenga, along with a 3-2 win on aggregate over Latvian outfit, Rigas.
The visitors will also head into this 1st leg tie in Poland on Thursday night on the back of two wins on the trot which includes wins away at Rigas in the aforementioned Europa Conference League along with a 2-0 home win against Mechelen in the Belgian First Division A on the weekend.
Although Gent have won just one of their last seven games on the road in all competitions, they should possess enough quality to get a result at Rakow on Thursday night.
