Crystal Palace square off against Fredrikstad in the first-leg of their Conference League playoff tie later this evening.
The Eagles take on their opponents who will make the trip from Norway to Selhurst Park with victory on their minds.
Oliver Glasner will have his troops fired up to put on a performance and show why they will feel they should be playing at a higher level than Conference League.
Palace lost their Europa League appeal following a committee decision over dual ownership and the club are considering what to do next from a legal standpoint.
But for now they can only play who is put in front of them and tonight’s foes will offer a fresh challenge. Palace began their domestic campaign with a goalless draw at Chelsea after beating Liverpool on penalties to lift the Community Shield, so confidence is high.
Palace will be without Eberechi Eze for this one, though, as he nears a move to Arsenal.
Their challengers, meanwhile, are eighth in their own league after 18 matches with just seven wins in that period.
Leading bookmakers have Palace to win at odds on 1/12 while an away victory for Fredrikstad can be backed at a whopping 16/1.
Crystal Palace vs Fredrikstad Bet Builder Tips
- Jean-Philippe Mateta first goal scorer @ 11/4
- Crystal Palace half-time/full-time @ 4/9
- 4+ corners in each half @ 5/6
Jean-Philippe Mateta first goal scorer @ 11/4
The big striker is a serious talent for Palace and is their go-to man in front of goal right now.
Mateta will look to get his season off to a flier having drawn a blank at Stamford Bridge and he will feel there is a good chance of adding a few to his tally tonight.
First goal scorer in the tie at odds of 11/4 can’t be sniffed at.
Crystal Palace half-time/full-time @ 4/9
Palace have plenty of firepower and are looking for a complete performance at home to take into the second-leg.
If the players are up for this one – which they absolutely should be – there’s no doubting they have the talent to put the game beyond their opponents early on.
We suspect Palace could blow their opponents away and take a lead from the first-half into the second and win the game.
4+ corners in each half @ 5/6
We are sure Palace will have their fair share of set-pieces with rival goalkeeper Martin Børsheim ready for a busy night.
If all goes to plan for the Eagles they should – on paper, anyway – bombard the goal and pepper it with shots which should see corners aplenty. Fredrikstad can obviously also add to this statistic.
