Match preview

Crystal Palace may not have dazzled in the League Phase, finishing mid-table after a series of mixed results, but they are still widely seen as one of the strongest contenders for this season’s Conference League. Their route to the last 16 came via the playoffs, where a tense draw in the first leg against Zrinjski Mostar was followed by a decisive victory in the second leg at Selhurst Park, thanks to goals from Maxence Lacroix and Evann Guessand. Since then, domestic form has been mixed: an away defeat to Manchester United was quickly made up for by a spirited victory over Tottenham that eased relegation concerns and lifted spirits in south London. Coach Oliver Glasner, who is leaving at the end of the campaign, will be keen to leave on a high note.

Palace’s home record in Europe has been encouraging, although their only setback came against Thursday’s visitors, AEK Larnaca. The Cypriot team comes into this year’s competition undefeated, with the strongest defense of all, and is no stranger to this stage, having reached the round of 16 twice in four seasons. With seven wins in their last 12 domestic games and a recent 3-0 win keeping them firmly in third place in the Cypriot First Division, Larnaca look well-drilled, confident and ready to test Palace’s ambitions.

Key statistics and injury news

Palace go into Thursday’s clash with some notable absences. Daniel Muñoz is sidelined after suffering a shoulder injury in the Premier League win over Spurs, while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Cheick Doucouré have knee problems and Eddie Nketiah remains out with a thigh problem.

On the Larnaca side, Yahav Gurfinkel, Youssef Amyn, Giorgos Naoum and Jimmy Suárez are in the treatment room with several knocks, leaving the Cypriot team tense in certain areas.

Still, Larnaca’s defensive record in Europe has been nothing short of remarkable, having conceded just one goal in six Conference League games, underlining the resilience that has seen them reach the last 16.
