Jagiellonia Bialystok will entertain Real Betis at the Stadion Miejski in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League quarterfinals on Thursday. They met in Seville last week, and Betis recorded a comfortable 2-0 home win thanks to first-half goals from Cédric Bakambu and Jesús Rodríguez.
The hosts bounced back from that loss with a 1-0 away triumph over Legia Warsaw in the Ekstraklasa on Sunday. It was a close game, and Darko Churlinov scored the only goal of the match in the 41st minute.
The visitors, meanwhile, saw their unbeaten streak in all competitions end after nine games on Sunday, as they fell to a 2-1 home loss to Villarreal in La Liga. Aitor Ruibal scored his first league goal of the season to give them the lead in the third minute. Villarreal equalized in the 26th minute and bagged the match-winner in the third minute of the second half.
