Prediction: 1-2
Slavia Prague
Rakow and Slavia Prague square off against each other at Miejski Stadion Pilkarski Rakow in the first leg of the Europa Conference League playoffs. The Poles eliminated Trnava in the 3rd qualifying round without any difficulties, but they will have a mountain to climb in the upcoming double-header. Since all Cebula, Kovacevic, Niewulis, Petrasek, and Sapala are out of contention with injuries, home win should not be considered.
The Czechs, on the other hand, proved their worth in the two-legged tie with Panathinaikos, with the team beating ten-man Jablonec in their last league match. Even though all Boril, Ewerton, Hovorka, Jurecka, and Provod have been struggling with injuries of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors, who look sharp in front of goal. The two teams have never met before in European competitions.

Born in Liberec, Czech Republic on October 17, 1994, Ondrej Kolar is a towering goalkeeper who plays for Slavia Prague. Kolar started his youth career at his hometown club Liberec, and he continued playing for the White-Blues at senior level.

Highlighted Team (Slavia Prague):
Slavia Prague is considered one of the most famous teams in Czech Republic. The Cervenobili won the Czechoslovak First League on 13 occasions and they lifted their fourth Czech First League in 2017. Despite winning the domestic trophy in the 2016/2017 season, Slavia Prague eventually failed to book their place in the Champions League group stages as they were beaten by APOEL of Cyprus in the play-offs. Sparta Prague are regarded as Slavia’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in the Prague derby.
The club was founded on November 2, 1892 and it has to be noted that the club was initially focused on cycling. In March 1896 Slavia Prague recorded their first ever victory, with the team beating AC Prague 5-0. The Cervenobili play their home games at Eden Arena and the capacity of the venue is 19.084 (football). Slavia Prague are well known for their red and white shirts and white shorts.
