Highlights (click to go)

Śląsk Wrocław will face FC St. Gallen on Wednesday in the first match of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.

– The list of absent players includes the injured: Bartosz Głogowski, Łukasz Bejger, Mateusz Bartolewski, Patrick Olsen, Filip Rejczyk and Junior Eyamba. The remaining players came to Switzerland. We know perfectly well that we need time for the players who were injured – such as Yehor Matsenko and Tudor Baluta – to return to full health. I have the right to postpone one match, the same applies to the fourth round. I took advantage of this for the good of the team. We wanted to have more time for regeneration and work, which is easier to do in training than in a game for stakes – said Jacek Magiera, coach of Śląsk Wrocław, at the pre-match press conference.

FC St. Gallen is – as coach Magiera argues – a team with a strong collective.

They are a level above FC Riga. They have valuable substitutes who can help maintain high intensity throughout the match. They are a transitional team. They make a lot of losses, but they also win back a lot of balls. They can create opportunities to score. At home, they like to play high pressing. We watched the rival team. They know how to use the support of the stands, which are close to the pitch, well. We are ready for that. We have our plan for this match in attack and defense.
