Legia Warsaw visit the TSC Arena on Thursday to face Backa Topola in the UEFA Europa Conference League for matchday two of the league phase. Having begun their campaign on a winning note, they are looking to win their second game in a row.
The Militarians pulled off a real upset with a 1-0 defeat of La Liga's Real Betis, who were undone by a 23rd-minute strike from Steve Kapuadi. Los Blanquivermells had more possession and completed more passes but couldn't break down their stoic hosts.
They prepped for the next fixture in the competition with a 2-0 defeat of Lechia Gdansk in the Polish top flight, the Ekstraklasa. It marked their first league win of the season, as Ryoya Morishita and Kacper Chodyna struck apiece to earn their side all three points.

On the contrary, Backa Topola were beaten 1-0 by Astana on matchday one of the 2024-25 Conference League season. Kipras Kazukolovas struck the only goal of the game in the 15th minute and it was enough to down their visitors. The Serbian outfit, though, looked more dangerous going forward but lacked the cutting edge to make their chances count.
