Jagiellonia Bialystok and KuPs will square off in a UEFA Conference League clash on Thursday (November 27th). The game will be played at Chorten Arena.
The home side have not been in action since claiming a 2-1 away win over Pogon Szczecin in the Polish Ekstraklasa three weeks ago. They went ahead through Dimitris Rallis' 13th-minute strike while Kamil Grosicki equalized in the 27th minute. Oskar Pietuszewski scored the match-winner in the third minute of injury time.
KuPs, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 2-0 away win over HJK in their final game of the Finnish Veikkausliiga three weeks ago. Agon Sadiku and Mohamed Toure scored in either half to help their side claim the victory.
The Kuopio outfit will shift their focus to the continent where their last game saw them claim a 3-1 home win over Slovan Bratislava. Jagiellonia played out a 1-1 draw away to Shkendija.
The stalemate left Jaga in 14th spot in the standings, having garnered five points from three games. KuPs have the same number of points in 11th spot.
