🔊 Can the Swedes hold off opponents from a more prestigious league? In the second round of the Conference League, Häcken will face Rayo Vallecano. The Spanish side boasts significantly greater potential. However, any Scandinavian team at home exerts considerable pressure, largely due to their tough character and ability to leverage their physicality. This could play a crucial role.

⭐ Editorial Prediction

It's tough to pinpoint a clear favorite in this matchup. If Rayo Vallecano were playing at home, their chances would be significantly higher. However, the visitors face the challenge of Sweden's much colder climate compared to Spain. Controlling possession and creating opportunities might not come easily, especially with the hosts giving it their all. Rayo may also need to simplify their play in the attacking third, relying on crosses and long balls—tactics often employed even in La Liga. While any scenario is possible, our editorial team anticipates a significant number of set pieces, particularly corners. The match could end with a 0-2 scoreline, but we recommend focusing on over 9 total corners.
