Raków Częstochowa and Sporting CP get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa League Group Stage fixture.

It's quite the trip for Sporting CP when visiting Raków Częstochowa as the cities are 3200 kilometers apart.

These are active days for the home side, as they had a game only four days ago in the Ekstraklasa. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Gornik Zabrze.

Sporting CP form and stats

Sporting CP are happy with their away performances in the Liga Portugal so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.

Two away matches in a row for Sporting CP, whose coach Amorim could celebrate last time after the Taça De Portugal win against CD Olivais e Moscavide.

Before that, Sporting CP secured a home win against Arouca with the score 2-1.

The schedule is very tough for Sporting CP now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga Portugal game at Boavista is waiting in only four days.

As opposed to that, Sporting CP have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions.

The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
