"Crystal Palace enter their penultimate Europa Conference League league phase fixture looking to strengthen their position in the race for last-16 qualification. The Eagles arrive in Dublin after two Premier League away wins over Burnley and Fulham, the latter secured by an 87th-minute header from Marc Guehi that lifted Oliver Glasner's side to fourth in the table and delivered their best return after 15 matches of a top-flight season."
"Shelbourne, meanwhile, have endured a difficult first appearance in the Conference League group stage. After becoming only the second Irish side to reach this stage of a UEFA competition, they remain winless across the opening four matchdays and are yet to score a goal. A goalless draw with BK Hacken was followed by defeats to Shkendija, Drita and AZ Alkmaar. Joey O'Brien's team sit 34th in the overall table and remain four points outside the playoff positions."
Crystal Palace travel to Dublin for their penultimate Europa Conference League group match aiming to strengthen their position for last-16 qualification. Palace sit 18th in the 36-team standings but are only two points behind the top eight after alternating wins and losses in Europe. Recent Premier League wins over Burnley and Fulham lifted Palace to fourth, though they lost 2-1 to Strasbourg in Europe after hitting the post twice. Shelbourne are winless and goalless after four matchdays, sitting 34th overall after a draw with BK Hacken and defeats to Shkendija, Drita and AZ Alkmaar. Shelbourne welcome back James Norris; Palace face multiple absences including Daniel Munoz and Ismaila Sarr, and Glasner is expected to rotate the squad.
