Strasbourg will welcome Crystal Palace to the Stade de la Meinau in the league phase of the UEFA Conference League on Thursday. Both teams have won two of their three games in the competition, though the hosts have a one-point lead over Palace, thanks to their unbeaten record.
Les Bleu et Blanc have seen conclusive results in their last six games, recording three wins. They met Lens in Ligue 1 last week and fell to a narrow 1-0 away loss. They met Hacken in their previous Conference League outing and registered a 2-1 away win.
The visitors, meanwhile, have enjoyed a good run of form and are unbeaten in their last five games. They resumed their Premier League campaign after the international break with a 2-0 away triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers, keeping their fourth clean sheet in five games.
Trending
After a goalless first half, Daniel Muñoz and Yeremy Pino added goals in quick succession after the break. They defeated AZ Alkmaar 3-1 at home in the Conference League earlier this month.
