Valletta vs Raków: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Valletta returned to the local Premier League in 2025 and finished fourth. However, in the leaders' quartet, they first lost to Floriana on penalties, and then to Hamrun Spartans. On the other hand, they did manage to win the national cup.
The team from Częstochowa could have even become champions. But in the end, trailing by a single point to both Górnik Zabrze and Jagiellonia (55 against 56), they finished only fourth. Recently, they lost 1-2 at home to Wisła Płock—apparently, their focus is currently on the European competitions.
In Poland, the visitors even aimed for a sensation. They opened the scoring in the middle of the first half and held on to a 1-0 lead for a long time. But eventually, the hosts secured a convincing comeback after the break, making it 3-1 in their favor.
