In the final round of the Europa League group stage, there will be a match between Rakow and Atalanta. The meeting will take place in the Polish city of Sosnowiec on Thursday, December 14th. The game is scheduled to start at 21:00 Central European Time.
Rakow
The Polish team had a great season last time around and became the champions of Poland. However, their performance on the European stage hasn't been as successful. After being eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers, Rakow ended up in a tough Europa League group where they have no chance of continuing in the tournament. In the last group stage match, the Polish team will compete virtually for a spot in the round of 16 of the Conference League against Austria's Sturm Graz. It's worth noting that domestically, the team occupies the fourth position in the Polish Ekstraklasa table and is fighting for a spot in European competitions.
Atalanta
This season, Atalanta hasn't been as consistent as in previous seasons, but this hasn't significantly affected the results of Gasperini's team. Atalanta confidently progressed through the group stage of the second most prestigious European tournament, and in Serie A, they secured a victory against Milan in the last round, snatching the win in the final minutes of the match. The Bergamo team is currently in eighth place in the league table, but they are only two points away from the Champions League zone.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- Rakow has lost only one match in their home field out of the last nine.
- Atalanta has lost four away matches out of the previous nine.
- The match in Bergamo ended with a victory for the hosts with a score of 2-0.
Prediction
I believe this game might not be very high-scoring, so I suggest placing a bet on the total goals scored being under three.
