A place in the Conference League third qualifying round will be at stake when Valletta and Rakow face each other in the return leg of their European tie. Given the huge gap in quality and experience between the two sides, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Maltese outfit have a mountain to climb after suffering a 3-1 defeat in Poland, where they were largely second best throughout the contest. Valletta will need to take a far more adventurous approach this time around, and head coach is expected to freshen up his starting XI, with Prsa, Sekulovic, and Ewurum all pushing for recalls. The hosts have been much more competitive on home soil lately, winning three of their last five home matches and averaging 1.2 goals per game in the process.
Rakow, meanwhile, produced an excellent display in the first leg, recording 11 shots on target and dominating possession with 68%. The Polish side look well on course to reach the next round and are expected to control proceedings once again despite holding a comfortable aggregate advantage. Defender Stratos Svarnas is expected to miss out through injury, but Rakow boast enough quality in depth to cope with his absence. Having won six of their last 10 matches in all competitions while averaging two goals per game, the visitors will be confident of completing the job professionally.
As Rakow are a more experience side than Valletta, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Rakow Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (Valletta must chase the game, which should create plenty of attacking opportunities at both ends).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 18:30.
