Prediction: 1-0
Arda
Rakow will be aiming to build on a 3-2 win over Termalica B-B. when they face Arda in the Conference League playoffs, first leg. Rakow did well to eliminate Maccabi Haifa in the third qualifying round, but they do not want to stop now. The Poles aim to get their job done in the first leg and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Arda in Thursday’s clash. Hungarian midfielder Peter Barath is expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the aforementioned league win, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Arda, on the other hand, proved their worth in the double-header with Kauno Zalgiris, but Rakow will pose a much bigger threat for the Bulgarians than their previous rivals. Taking everything into account, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. Arda forward Isnaba Mane will miss the return leg if booked in Thursday’s encounter.
