"Our mindset is to win the game. We have huge respect for AEK Larnaca. All the teams in the UEFA Conference League have struggled to score against them. They're doing really well, with all their experience. They defended crosses and balls into the box really well last week."
"We might need to create six or seven big chances, rather than four or five. But we can do this. It's about having a good balance, but we have the confidence we can score and create chances."
Crystal Palace faces AEK Larnaca in a Conference League second leg with the tie finely balanced after a goalless draw at Selhurst Park. Despite dominating the first match with 1.98 expected goals from 13 shots compared to Larnaca's 0.23 from two attempts, Palace failed to score. Across both meetings, Palace has accumulated 3.74 combined expected goals from 28 shots without scoring. Larnaca has conceded only once throughout their entire Conference League campaign. Manager Oliver Glasner acknowledges the defensive challenge but expresses confidence that Palace can create the necessary chances to win, potentially requiring six or seven big chances rather than four or five.
