Crystal Palace and Zrinjski Mostar will look to advance to the round of 16 in the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League (UECL) as they bring a 1-1 stalemate to the second leg on Thursday. This match between the Eagles and the Nobles comes with our prediction of less than 3.5 goals.
The Eagles have been struggling recently and have had their share of troubles on and off the pitch. A win at the weekend in the English Premier League was a rare sight, and while their form in Europe has been impressive this season, they haven’t been completely dominant.
Zrinjski drew the reverse fixture and will feel they are still in the tie, as an early goal could make things trickier for the home fans. The visitors haven't been quite impressive in the UECL competition, winning only one of their last six fixtures. Can the visitors add to that count on this visit to London?

Crystal Palace - Zrinjski Mostar: Form Analysis
Palace won 1-0 at home against Wolves last weekend to make it two wins in their last four competitive matches (D1, L1). They snatched the three points late, with Evann Guessand opening his Palace account and securing his team the three points in the 90th minute.
These were much-needed wins for the Eagles, who had no wins in 12 competitive matches prior to this sequence.
Palace finished tenth in the league phase with ten points (W3, D1, L2), only two points outside the top eight. Their home form was indifferent, though, registering a win, a draw, and a loss each.
Palace have failed to score multiple goals in five of their last six home games.
Zrinjski followed the first-leg draw with another 1-1 draw in their domestic league. That leaves them with just one defeat from their last ten games, including friendlies (W6, D3).
The Bosnians had just seven points from their league phase engagements in this UECL campaign (W2, D1, L3). That included losing three of their last six matches after the first phase, while their away record reads three defeats without scoring a goal.

Crystal Palace & Zrinjski Mostar Squad Analysis
Palace have a lengthy absence list, with Jefferson Lerma and Jean-Philippe Mateta highlighting those out of contention. Maxence Lacroix is the latest addition as the hosts look to work around those absences.
The hosts are set to line up in their traditional 4-3-3 system with Ismaila Sarr starting on the right and Jorgen Strand Larsen leading the line. With a number of proven forwards missing due to injuries, the Eagles are feeling the heat for goals.
Sarr has three goals in the UECL this season.
Zrinjski don’t have too many injuries like their hosts, but Slobodan Jakovljevic is yet to play this calendar year. That leaves them with an option of saving from their best squad as the visitors look to surprise their fancied hosts.
The visitors lined up in a slightly defensive 5-4-1 formation in their last three matches but have usually been a bit more open in Europe. They have used the 4-2-3-1 system in most of their other matches, with Karlo Abramovic manning the plans on the right.

Our Crystal Palace vs Zrinjski Mostar Prediction
Palace followed the first-leg draw with a battling 1-0 win at home over the Wolves in the Premier League. It was a much-needed result for the Eagles, who have struggled to win games recently with only two from their last 16 competitive matches. At least they have been in impressive form in this competition, but Zrinjski will be a tough cookie. The Bosnian visitors have lost only one of their last ten in all competitions and could be a threat.
This could be a tight game, and our Crystal Palace vs Zrinjski Mostar prediction is less than 3.5 goals.
