VHO - Commentary on the match Strasbourg vs Crystal Palace, Conference League qualifying round, Strasbourg maintains impressive form in both Ligue 1 and Europe, but Crystal Palace is determined to win to strengthen their hopes of reaching the round of 16.

Strasbourg vs Crystal Palace performance

Thanks to their 7th place finish in Ligue 1 last season, Strasbourg qualified for the Conference League from the play-off round. After a hard-fought 3-2 aggregate win over Brondby (Denmark), the home team at De la Meinau officially entered the classification stage.

After 20 years of returning to the continental arena, Strasbourg did not show any signs of being surprised. The team from the Alsace region has not tasted defeat once after 3 matches. Specifically, Strasbourg defeated Slovan Bratislava 2-1, drew 1-1 with Jagiellonia Białystok and defeated BK Hacken 2-1.

Not only playing well in the Conference League, Strasbourg is also showing a very positive face in the Ligue 1 playground. After 13 rounds, the team under the direction of coach Liam Rosenior won 7, drew 1 and lost 5, with 22 points, standing in 5th place and only 1 point behind the opponent above.

Taking advantage of home advantage has become a rather important highlight in Strasbourg's past journey. In 8 times hosting guests since the beginning of the season on all fronts, the home team has only lost 1, drawn 2 and won 5. In particular, the most recent time hosting guests witnessed Enciso and his teammates excellently overcoming the tough opponent Lille 2-0.

On the other side of the front line, Crystal Palace marched to the hexagonal land with the goal of winning. After the unexpected stumble at home against AEK Larnaca (Cyprus), The Eagles quickly recovered with the right mindset of one of the heavy candidates for the championship.

A 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar helped coach Oliver Glasner's team move up to 9th place with 6 points. If De la Meinau wins, Crystal Palace will definitely make it into the top 8, which means they have a good chance of getting a ticket straight to the round of 16.

Crystal Palace will squeeze into the top 8 if they win all 3 points in France.

The away team's current form is impressive. In their last 5 appearances, they have not tasted defeat once, winning 4. Notably, the London team have won convincingly in their last 2 away matches, defeating Liverpool (3-0) and Wolves (2-0) respectively.

During his football career, Liam Rosenior - the current coach of Strasbourg - was no stranger to Crystal Palace. The strategist born in 1984 was born in South London and spent 4 seasons with Fulham. But perhaps the knowledge of the English coach is not enough for the home team to create a surprise.
