Lech Poznan will invite Rapid Wien to Enea Stadion in their UEFA Conference League campaign opener on Thursday. Poznan are back in the competition after two seasons, while Wien were eliminated from the quarterfinals last season.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last three games and were held to a 2-2 draw by Jagiellonia Białystok in the Ekstraklasa last week. Leo Bengtsson pulled them level in the 46th minute, and Mikael Ishak equalized again in the 59th minute from the penalty spot.
The visitors, meanwhile, are winless in their last two games, and saw their unbeaten streak end after six games last week as they suffered a 3-1 home loss to Austria Wien in the Austrian Bundesliga. Claudy Mbuyi equalized from the penalty spot in the 48th minute, but Austria Wien scored twice later in that match.
