Shelbourne and Crystal Palace will battle for three points in a UEFA Conference League fixture on Thursday (December 11th). The game will be played at Tallaght Stadium.
The hosts have not been in action since falling to a 2-0 defeat away to AZ Alkmaar in the UECL a fortnight ago. Mees de Wit broke the deadlock in the 70th minute, while Isak Jensen made sure of the result four minutes from time.
Palace, meanwhile, claimed a 2-1 away win against Fulham in the Premier League over the weekend. Eddie Nketiah gave them the lead 20 minutes into the game, while Harry Wilson equalized in the 38th minute. Marc Guehi won the game in the 87th minute.

Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

- Shelbourne are the only side yet to score a goal in the UECL this season.
- Crystal Palace have won four of their last five away games (one loss).

Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Shelbourne's debut campaign in the main stage of a major European tournament has not gone to plan. They are aiming to avoid becoming the first side to go through the league/group phase of the Conference League without scoring a single goal.
Crystal Palace have made an indifferent start to the UECL, having alternated between a win and a loss across their opening four games. Olivier Glasner will hope this trend continues, having lost their most recent game. A late loss in concentration has been a recurring theme, with all four goals they have conceded in the UECL this term coming in the second half.
We are backing the visitors to claim a routine win and a clean sheet.
