Match preview

Safe to say, following last Thursday’s first leg at Miejski Stadion Piłkarski, Raków Częstochowa are firmly in the catbird seat.

A week ago, the Polish side, to the surprise of most, ran out 5-0 winners in the first leg.

Ivi, Mateusz Wdowiak, Vladislavs Gutkovskis, Vladyslav Kocherhin and Fran Tudor on target, meaning Raków make the long 2,300 mile trip east in firm control.

In contrast, Astana have qualified for six European group stages since 2015, including the Champions League seven years ago.

The Blue and Yellows have won 17 of their last 25 qualification ties which is why that first leg hammering is so surprising.

Before this trip to Poland, only Botev Plovdiv, Celtic and AZ had ever scored 5+ against the Kazakhstani club in UEFA competition.

Given their advantage, Raków Częstochowa can start planning for a Europa Conference League third qualifying round date with Spartak Trnava; they beat Newton 4-1 in their first leg.
