The first of two encounters in the Europa Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Gent will try to edge Pogoń Szczecin in their own ballpark.

The hosts Gent saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Pro League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Mechelen.
