Match Result: Rubin Kazan
When it comes to the formbook there is little to choose between the two sides. Rakow Czestochowa have lost just twice in their last 10 games but they've also won just three matches in that period; they've drawn far too many games. Rubin Kazan by contrast have drawn just one of 10. Six wins and three defeats complete their last 10 meaning they're far from flying. Of course, form doesn't tell you everything and Rubin Kazan have huge amounts of experience in these European qualifying campaigns; Rakow Czestochowa do not. That gives Rubin Kazan the edge.
Over/Under goals: Over 2.5
On the subject of form, the total number of goals in this match could go either way. It means there is the potential to take some value from the odds though and we're backing the game to see a minimum of three goals. Rakow Czestochowa have seen a total of 31 goals in their last 10; that's an average of 3.1 per match with six of those matches exceeding the 2.5 mark. Rubin Kazan slightly outdo their hosts in the goals market though; seven of their past 10 have passed the 2.5 cut off. In terms of the total goals across the 10 and game averages, Rubin Kazan come uop short of Rakow Czestochowa but measure up well overall; they've seen 27 goals i.e. 2.7 per game.
To win to nil: Rubin Kazan
Our final prediction is for Rubin Kazan to win the match whilst keeping a clean sheet. Rakow Czestochowa have failed to score in three of their last five matches including their last two. Rubin Kazan's form, which away from home is eight wins from 10, is underpinned by keeping things tight; they've kept six clean sheets in their last eight matches.
Rakow Czestochowa vs Rubin Kazan: Meet the sides
Rakow Czestochowa
A European qualifying run is not something Rakow Czestochowa are used to but they'll still think they've got half a chance of seeing off Rubin Kazan; they have too. Their form hasn't been tremendous of late but having only lost two of 10 Rubin Kazan will have to work hard for a win. Defensive solidity will be the key to a positive result though and that will mean Zoran Arsenic will need to have a good match.
Rubin Kazan
Rubin Kazan might not be bouncing into this match on top form but they're all too familiar with the type of match that awaits; they do it pretty much every year. On top of that, their away form is better than their overall form. With six clean sheets in eight away matches combined with having won eight from 10 road games confidence will be in an alright place. Khvica Kvaratskhelia is their danger man; he'll likely operate off the left flank.
