Strasbourg will trade tackles with Jagiellonia in a UEFA Conference League fixture on Thursday (October 23rd). The game will be played at Stade de la Meinau.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a six-goal thriller away to PSG in Ligue 1 over the weekend. They went behind to Bradley Barcola's sixth-minute strike but Joaquin Panichelli and Diego Moreira scored to put them 2-1 up at the break. Panichelli completed his brace four minutes into the second half to give the visitors a two-goal advantage. Goncalo Ramos pulled one back from the spot before the hour-mark while Senny Mayulu equalized in the 79th minute.
Jagiellonia, meanwhile, claimed a 4-0 home win over Arka Gdynia in the Polish Ekstraklasa. Sergio Lozano broke the deadlock in the 16th minute while Youssuf Sylla doubled their lead after the break. Afimico Pululu stepped off the bench to complete the rout with a brace.
Jaga will shift attention to the continent, having kick-started their Conference League campaign with a 1-0 home win over Hamrun. Strasbourg claimed a 2-1 away win over Slovan Bratislava.
