"Oliver Glasner's side beat Bosnian outfit HSK Zrinjski Mostar 2-0 on Thursday, and 3-1 on aggregate, to continue their European journey. Maxence Lacroix headed Palace in front, before a late settler by January signing Evann Guessand secured the Eagles a spot in the next round, where they will play AEK Larnaca."
"Glasner made three changes from the 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Guessand, who scored a last-gasp winner in that game, earned his spot in the starting line-up as Lacroix returned from a groin injury and Daichi Kamada also started, with Chadi Riad, Will Hughes and Yeremy Pino all dropping to the bench."
"Jean-Philippe Mateta, who scored two goals in this fixture last season, is unavailable at the moment due to a knee injury, while Jefferson Lerma and Eddie Nketiah will both miss this fixture. Jorgen Strand Larsen looks set to lead the line in Mateta's stead and the Norwegian will fancy his chances in front of goal, having scored twice already since his deadline-day move from Wolves."
Crystal Palace qualified for the UEFA Conference League round of 16 by defeating HSK Zrinjski Mostar 3-1 on aggregate, with goals from Maxence Lacroix and Evann Guessand securing their first-ever knockout victory in major European competition. Manager Oliver Glasner made three changes from Palace's previous Premier League win over Wolverhampton, with Guessand, Lacroix, and Daichi Kamada returning to the starting lineup. Key players Jean-Philippe Mateta, Jefferson Lerma, and Eddie Nketiah remain unavailable through injury. Jorgen Strand Larsen will lead the attack after scoring twice since his deadline-day transfer from Wolves. Palace faces Manchester United on Sunday as their fourth match in eleven days, potentially affecting squad freshness.
