Fredrikstad vs Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace hold a 1-0 lead as they travel to Fredrikstad for the second leg of their UEFA Conference League playoffs.

The hosts have found things difficult lately and are struggling to find their best form. Meanwhile, the Eagles are unbeaten across all competitions this season and are expected to claim the upper hand here.

Fredrikstad News

Fredrikstad barely got going in the first leg and were lucky to have lost by only one goal. They gave away too many scoring opportunities and struggled to create much going forward, finishing without a single attempt on target.

That first leg result is part of a poor run for Fredrikstad, who have lost their last three matches across all competitions. Andreas Hagen's team have also found things difficult on home soil and are winless in five of their last seven matches in front of their fans.

One of the problems for Fredrikstad is a lack of cutting-edge going forward, which was evident in the first leg. They have also failed to score in three of their last four matches across all competitions.

Crystal Palace News

Crystal Palace were fully deserving of the first-leg result and could have won by more. They dominated the possession and created multiple chances, but in the end, Jean-Philippe Mateta’s second-half effort proved the difference.

The Eagles are enjoying a fine start to the season and are unbeaten across all competitions so far. They head into Thursday's clash off the back of a 1-1 home draw with Nottingham Forest in an English Premier League fixture last weekend.

One impressive aspect of Crystal Palace's game this season is their recent defensive solidity. Oliver Glasner's team have kept clean sheets in two of their last three matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

Last week's first leg was the only previous meeting between both teams, with Crystal Palace earning a 1-0 victory.

Verdict

Fredrikstad v Crystal Palace

There is a contrast between both teams lately, with Fredrikstad struggling in attack while Crystal Palace are looking solid at the back. Goals could come at a premium here, and with the visitors keeping clean sheets in two of their last three matches, a repeat could be on the cards.

Crystal Palace earned a win to nil in the first leg, and with Fredrikstad failing to score in three of their last four matches, a similar outcome is expected.
