However, they can ill-afford to underestimate their rivals on Thursday, who have also undergone three rounds of qualification to reach this stage.Slavia enjoy a significant advantage of being a regular participant in Europe compared to their rivals. They also boast a stronger squad to challenge Rakow.The underdogs will be hoping for a positive result in the home leg to have any chance of pulling off an upset in this tie. A draw may not be enough given the fact that they will have to travel to the Czech Republic for the decider.Nonetheless, we expect a close game on Thursday with Slavia Prague edging the contest to take the lead into the second leg.Prediction: Slavia Prague 3-2 Rakow Czestochowa
