Predictions, team updates, betting advice, probabilities, and Bet Builder information for the match between Crystal Palace and Fredrikstad
Crystal Palace are set to kick off their European campaign in the Conference League playoff round, hosting Norwegian opponents Fredrikstad at Selhurst Park in London on Thursday evening.
The London-based club started the domestic season on a high note, winning the FA Community Shield. They are currently unbeaten in their last ten competitive fixtures, a testament to their impressive form.
However, manager Oliver Glasner faces a challenging end to the transfer window with star players Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi, and Adam Wharton all on the radar of rival clubs. Despite this, Eze and Guehi are expected to start despite the transfer speculation.
Crystal Palace have targeted adding forwards to strengthen their squad after Eze's departure to Arsenal. They have made two signings so far, Borna Sosa and Walter Benitez, but are expected to bring in up to three more players before the transfer window closes, focusing particularly on boosting forward options.
The predicted line-up for Crystal Palace is as follows: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta.
Fredrikstad, on the other hand, have not been in the best of forms recently. They have not won any of their last seven away matches and have won just two of their last 11 Eliteserien fixtures, leaving them eighth in the 16-team division.
The Norwegian side began their European campaign in the Europa League third qualifying round, where they were thumped 5-1 on aggregate by Danish opponents Midtjylland. They may consider a recall for centre-forward Emil Holten for the match against Crystal Palace.
The predicted line-up for Fredrikstad is Borsheim; S Owusu, Fredriksen, Woledzi; Rafn, Metcalfe, L Owusu, Ohlenschlaeger, Molde; Skogvold, Holten.
The match betting for Crystal Palace vs Fredrikstad is as follows: Crystal Palace (1-20), Fredrikstad (20-1), Draw (8-1).
The match will be broadcast live on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom, with a kick-off time of 8pm at Selhurst Park. Fans who cannot attend the match can catch all the action on Channel 5.
In the Conference League, Crystal Palace are targeting a wide-margin victory over Fredrikstad to book themselves a place in the competition's league phase. It promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with contrasting fortunes in their recent outings.
