Rakow will host Aris Limassol in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League third qualification round at the Miejski Stadion Piłkarski on Tuesday. The Miejski Stadion Piłkarski is the home of Rakow. Both sides are coming after playing in the second round of the qualification phase. Rakow won the second round against Qarabag. While Aris thrashed Bate Borisov mercilessly. Talking about their domestic league results, Rakow drew in the Polish league against Warta. On the other hand, Aris won easily against Omonia.
Rakow is the reigning Polish champion. They won the top division for the first time last season with 75 points. Dawid Szwarga’s side were eliminated in the playoff round of the Europa Conference League in 2021-22 and 2022-23. However, It would be a huge achievement if they are able to put themselves in contention to advance to the group stage of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Limassol will not begin their domestic campaign until August 18 against AEK Larnaca. So the Cypriot outfit can fully focus on this two-legged affair. The Light Brigade were also the champions of the top division in Cyprus last season. Aleksey Shpilevsky’s side has already shown promising results in the initial stages of the qualification. Naturally, a game between two champion sides is going to be mouth-watering.
