Rakow – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Red and Blues” slumped last season, moreover, it was done very sharply. In 2021, they won the cup, then retained the trophy, adding 2nd place to it, and they even won the championship in the last but one cycle. Suddenly, the team dropped to 7th place.

Speaking about the new championship, the Kroczek’s wards (the mentor has been in office since April and almost started with a home defeat to Piast), but newcomer Mick van Buren made it a 1-1 draw by means of a goal in the 89th minute of the game.
