Lech Poznan and F91 Dudelange will battle for a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage in the first leg of their playoff tie on Thursday.

The hosts come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Slack Wroclaw on home turf in the Polish Estraklasa on Sunday. Petr Schwarz's first-half strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Dudelange claimed maximum points in a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory away to Niedercorn in the Luxembourg league over the weekend. They will return to continental action following their elimination from the UEFA Europa League qualifiers by Malmo.

Lech Poznan progressed to this stage with an extra-time victory over Icelandic side Vikingur Reykjavic in the third qualifying round. The Poles were expected to secure a straightforward victory but a dogged display from Vikingur over the two legs forced extra time.
