Aris Limassol vs Raków Częstochowa match preview
Following last mid-week’s first leg at Miejski Stadion Piłkarski, this tie is perfectly poised.
A week ago, Raków Częstochowa raced into a 2-0 first leg lead at home, with both Vladyslav Kocherhin and then Fabian Piasecki on target.
But, in the final minute of normal time, Mihlali Mayambela pulled one back for Aris Limassol, getting it back to 2-1, so just how crucial could that ultimately prove to be?
Before this season, Aris Limassol had never won a tie in UEFA competition.
However, having won their maiden Cypriot title last season, Aleksey Shpilevsky’s side smashed BATE Borisov 11-5 in the previous round, prevailing 6-2 at home and then 5-3 in Mezőkövesd.
So, Aris are guaranteed to debut in a UEFA group stage next month, but the Light Brigade are determined to keep their Champions League dreams alive.
Now, having dumped out Flora Tallinn and Qarabağ, the Medallions will also debut in a group stage but, if they can avoid defeat at Alphamega Stadium, they’d be on the cusp of the Champions League.
The winners of this tie will take on København or Sparta Prague in the UEFA Champions League play-off round.
The losers drop into the UEFA Europa League play-offs, where they’ll face the losers of Maccabi Haifa vs ŠK Slovan Bratislava.
