"Crystal Palace will hope to clinch their place in the top eight of the Conference League table when they round off their league phase campaign against KuPS. The Eagles are a point outside the top eight and automatic qualification to the last 16. However, with two of the teams above them, Mainz and Samsunspor, facing each other, a win would be enough to ensure Palace do not have contest a two-legged tie in the play-off round."
"And it's fair to say the mood around the club is unlikely to have improved since that loss, with reports emerging this week that manager Oliver Glasner will not renew his contract when it expires at the end of the season. Glasner has made no secret of his displeasure at the lack of investment in the squad in the summer as he has prepared his team to compete on several fronts following the FA Cup win last season."
Crystal Palace sit a point outside the top eight of the Conference League and can secure automatic qualification to the last 16 with a win over KuPS. A Palace victory would likely avoid a two-legged play-off because Mainz and Samsunspor meet each other. Palace followed an emphatic win over Shelbourne with a 3-0 Premier League defeat by Manchester City, leaving morale fragile. Manager Oliver Glasner will not renew his contract and has criticised summer investment. Squad limits will be tested with the KuPS match 48 hours before a Premier League trip to Leeds. KuPS need a draw or win to advance and have lost only once in the group.
