Rakow will be looking to make a winning start to their UEFA Conference League campaign when they take on Valletta in the first leg of the second qualifying round. Given the huge gap in quality and experience between the two sides, we predict a 2-0 home win. Although the Polish side failed to win any of their four preseason friendlies, they showed plenty of attacking intent and should not be underestimated. Rakow have averaged 2.1 goals per game across their last 10 competitive matches, while their home form remains encouraging, winning three of their last five in front of their fans. The club have also strengthened the squad during the summer with the arrivals of Jakub Jendryka, Oliwier Kwiatkowski, and Dieudonne Debohi, all of whom will be eager to make an immediate impact.
Valletta, meanwhile, head into the clash after a 2-1 friendly victory over Balzan and will be hoping to spring an upset. The Maltese side have enjoyed mixed results away from home, winning just one of their last four road matches while averaging only 0.75 goals per game. Brazilian forward Yuri remains their biggest attacking threat after finishing as the club's top scorer, but breaking down Rakow's defence on Polish soil will be a difficult task.
Rakow possess greater quality, depth, and European experience. Therefore, Home Win seems like the best betting option for this matchup, alongside Rakow to score over 1.5 goals (they average 2.6 goals per home match across their last five outings).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 17:30.
