by Joseph King in Conference League Predictions
A spot in the league phase of the 2025-26 Conference League is on the line when Crystal Palace hosts Norwegian side Fredrikstad in the playoff on Thursday. Check out our prediction in this match between the Eagles and the Aristocrats!
Palace will be high in spirits coming into their first competitive home match of the season following a hard-earned point in a 0-0 away draw with Chelsea at the weekend. Oliver Glasner’s side once again stood firm on the defensive end against a top team, reminiscent of their performance against Man City in the FA Cup final at the end of last season.
That result was off the back of an impressive triumph against Liverpool in the Community Shield, where they lifted the trophy against the league champions on penalties following a 2-2 full time result.
The London club begins the Conference League in the qualifying round, but fans have a right to feel annoyed. Crystal Palace was originally set to play in the Europa League after lifting the FA Cup, but multi-club ownership rules meant that they were demoted to Europe’s third-tier competition.
Fredrikstad made it to this stage after being knocked out of the Europa League third qualifying round 5-1 on aggregate against Midtjylland, losing both legs. They've now managed just a single win in their last five outings and will be cursing their luck after drawing what is likely the most difficult possible available opponent.

Our Crystal Palace vs Fredrikstad FK Prediction
Expect Fredrikstad to spend the majority of their time defending with 11 men behind the ball. They likely won’t have many opportunities at goal, which makes a Crystal Palace clean sheet a strong possibility.
After both an encouraging end to last season and start to this year’s campaign, Palace could be primed to explode against a much weaker Fredrikstad team. We’ll take the safer route that the hosts will win without conceding, but also consider Palace to win on the -2.5 Asian handicap if you’re looking for a bigger payout. Our Crystal Palace vs Fredrikstad prediction: Crystal Palace to win to nil.
