OLOMOUC, Czech Republic (Interstat) — A crucial UEFA Europa Conference League Group D match pits a struggling Sigma Olomouc against a surging RKS Rakow Częstochowa on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025.

The home side, Sigma Olomouc, is desperate for a result after a difficult start to their European campaign and domestic season. They are 0-1 in the Conference League following a 2-0 loss to Fiorentina on Oct. 2 and carry an overall record of 4-7-1 across all competitions. Their form has been plagued by a lack of goals, having been shut out in six of their last eight matches.

Conversely, the Polish club Rakow Częstochowa arrives with momentum. They are 1-1 in the group stage and 2-1 overall this season. They are coming off a 1-0 victory over PFK Arda 1924 Kardzhali on Aug. 21, where Lamine Diaby-Fadiga, Marko Bulat and Eric Ouma were key contributors. Their only recent blemish was a 1-0 loss to Maccabi Haifa on Aug. 7.

The statistical projection from Interstat favors the visitors, simulating a 1-0 victory for Rakow.

The match is scheduled for Thursday at Andrův stadion. Following this fixture, Sigma Olomouc will travel to face Noah on Nov. 6, while Rakow Częstochowa will visit AC Sparta Praha on the same date.
