Hammarby are maintaining strong match fitness thanks to the Swedish league being in full swing. Recently, the Swedes drew with Anderlecht (1:1) and Brommapojkarna (1:1), lost to the Belgian side in the return leg (1:3), then played out a goalless draw with Raków and thrashed Häcken 3:0 in the domestic league. The team aims to play on the front foot on their artificial home surface, making active use of the flanks and a high press.
Raków are struggling with consistency at the start of the season, combining a successful progression through the previous qualifying round with disappointing results in the domestic league. The Polish side defeated Maltese club Valletta twice (3:1 and 4:0), drew 0:0 with Hammarby, but then lost to Wisła Płock (1:2) and Śląsk Wrocław (1:2). The team relies on a disciplined structure in midfield, but their recurring defensive problems in away domestic matches have reduced their confidence in the final third.

Hammarby head into the game on an emotional high after their recent 3:0 thrashing of Häcken, while Raków have lost their last two away matches in the Polish Ekstraklasa. The fast artificial surface at 3Arena will create significant difficulties for the Polish defense when attempting to play out from under pressure. The most logical outcome of the match is a Hammarby victory in regular time.
