Rakow vs Atalanta Prediction: the Poles have a good chance

Prediction for the Europa League Rakow vs Atalanta match which will take place on December 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the last round of the Europa League, Raków upset Sturm on the road to return to the UEFA playoffs. A draw would have been enough for Sturm to secure a playoff spot in the Conference League, but the Austrians lost. After that crucial win, Raków played three home games, beating Krakowia in the Polish Cup, drawing with Schląsk, and losing away to Jagiellonia. To overtake Sturm at the top of Group D, Raków needs more points than the Austrians, and if both teams win, Raków will need a two-goal difference.

Atalanta is already top of the group. Even if the Bergamaschi lose in Poland and Sporting wins their match, the Portuguese team will still finish on results at the end of the group. Hence, the conclusion is that Atalanta will go to Poland with a second team. Atalanta is fighting for a place in the UEFA Competition, beating Milan 3:2 in the last round to move up to eighth in Serie A, just two points behind Champions League-hopeful Roma.

We think the Poles have a good chance, if not of winning the game, then at least of picking up a point, which could be enough to keep Raków in the Conference League next spring. Atalanta will come to Poland to play with the second team, which is still significantly weaker than the first. For the Italians, however, the game has no meaning, unlike for the Poles, whose fate will be decided by the third place in the group.
