Rakow was eliminated honorably in the round of 16 last season. This time, they started from the second qualifying round, where they easily eliminated Maltese Valletta. Following that, they eliminated Hammarby, this time after a 0:0 draw at home and a 1:0 win away. Last week, they reached a 2:2 draw in Split against a ten-man Hajduk, hoping to defeat them now in the return leg.
Hajduk played nearly a half with one player less in the first match and could not hold on to a 2:1 lead, conceding a late equalizer. Next, they have an away match in Poland. Hajduk has already lost its away matches to Zilina and Paphos in the first round of the Europa League qualifiers. However, at least they had no problems with Zalgiris, defeating them 5:2 away. The fact remains that in each of their three European visits so far, they have conceded at least two goals.
Prediction: victory for RakowRakow seems to me to be the more likely winner of this match, while Hajduk may once again fail to reach the main stage in Europe.
