Legia Warsaw play host to Caernarfon Town in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round on Thursday. The Welsh side travel to the Polish Army Stadium having narrowly edged out Crusaders FC in the opening round and will be looking to keep the momentum going.
Legia Warsaw kicked off the 2024-25 Polish top-flight campaign in style as they picked up a 2-0 home victory over Zaglebie Lubin at the weekend.
In a game where Zaglebie Lubin's Michal Nalepa received marching orders, Rafal Augustyniak and Luquinhas scored in the final four minutes of the game to hand Gonçalo Feio’s men an opening-day victory.
This was in line with their solid performance in pre-season, where they picked up four wins and one draw in their seven matches.
