Thursday | 19:00 UTC | Selhurst Park | Europa Conference League Playoff

Crystal Palace kick off their first full European campaign in decades on Thursday night as they welcome Norwegian side Fredrikstad to Selhurst Park. A sold-out South London crowd will be expecting Oliver Glasner’s FA Cup winners to lay down a marker in the Europa Conference League playoff round.

Crystal Palace vs Fredrikstad Prediction

Palace arrive in Europe riding a wave of momentum. Glasner’s men lifted the FA Cup last season, followed it up with the Community Shield against Liverpool, and opened the Premier League with a hard-earned 0-0 draw at Chelsea. Since the Austrian coach took charge in February 2024, the Eagles have become one of the league’s most organised sides, collecting 20 points in their final 12 games of last season.

Fredrikstad, meanwhile, caused one of the shocks of qualifying by knocking out Midtjylland 5-1 on aggregate. But while they overperformed their metrics in Norway’s Eliteserien last season, their 39-goal tally was the lowest in the top half. Against a disciplined Premier League defence, goals may be hard to come by.

Palace’s wing-backs will be key to unlocking a deep Fredrikstad block, with Daniel Muñoz especially dangerous when bursting forward. Glasner’s structured style suggests a comfortable but controlled home win.

Crystal Palace vs Fredrikstad Tips

Oliver Glasner rarely sends his team out chasing cricket scores, but Palace’s quality should still shine through. Expect a controlled win where the Eagles manage possession, limit Fredrikstad chances, and find goals from wide areas.
