FC St. Gallen will face Slask Wroclaw in the 2nd round of the Conference League qualifiers. The Polish club finished last year's season level on points with champions Jagiellonia Bialystok.

Eastern Switzerland will be up against an extremely defensively strong team at home in Kybunpark. The Poles have conceded just 31 goals in 34 league games, making them the best defense in the Ekstraklasa.

While St. Gallen easily eliminated Tobol Kostanai from Kazakhstan in the 2nd round of qualifying, Wroclaw prevailed against FC Riga. After a 0:1 away defeat, the team was all the more convincing in a 3:1 home win.

The western Polish side have yet to get going this season. They have one point from two games so far. St. Gallen, for their part, have made a promising start to the new season with two wins from three games.
