Shelbourne Dublin are yet to win a match in the league phase of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League in their matchday five game against Crystal Palace, who are looking to move into the top 16 spots. This match on Thursday in Dublin between the 34th-placed Reds and the 18th-placed Eagles comes with our prediction of an away win to nil.
With one point from their four matches (D1, L3), Shelbourne cannot advance to the round of 16 automatically, although they can still qualify for the play-offs in the top 16. Palace’s six points (W2, L2) keep them inside the top 24 places, and their chances of moving up or down could be decided by this game’s result.
Shelbourne have struggled in recent times, which could be a concern for their chances of progression in this competition. The hosts have been beaten in all three recent games in the Conference League, while their problems with scoring are well-documented. Palace could pounce on that and make a case of progression with a strong win. Can the Eagles soar in Dublin with a statement win? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Shelbourne Dublin - Crystal Palace: Form Analysis
Shelbourne’s first foray in the main draw of a major UEFA tournament hasn’t gone to plan with three defeats in four matches (D1). Without a goal to their name in the league phase, they are showing no signs of hope that things could change.
With domestic action already finished, their only action remains this competition. The Reds were beaten in three of their last five competitive games, each seeing them fail to score.
Shelbourne failed to score in three of their last four home matches.
Palace won 2-1 away at Fulham in their weekend Premier League fixture, making it a sixth victory in their last nine competitive matches (D1, L2), including two in a row.
The Eagles have done well on the road lately, winning four of their last five competitive trips. Three of those wins have come with a clean sheet, and that gives Palace an edge on this trip. That would be needed, as Palace have alternated wins and losses in their last four Conference League matches.

Shelbourne Dublin & Crystal Palace Squad Analysis
Conor Kearns is out of contention for Shelbourne, robbing them of their first-choice goalkeeper. Sam Bone is also out of contention for the hosts, while James Norris is set to miss after picking up a red card on matchday three.
The hosts have lined up in 5-3-2 or 4-3-3 systems, with the former formation likely to be chosen if they want to be defensive. Goal-scoring duties have been shared, with Harry Wood adding nine and Mipo Odubeko scoring eight.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has seven goals to his name for Palace.
The visitors will miss Ismaila Sarr, who didn’t play at the weekend. Another miss for the Eagles will be Daniel Munoz. Between the two, they have nine goals to their name in the Premier League and the Conference League.
Palace will stick to their 3-4-3 formation with Mateta leading the line and Eddie Nketiah likely to man the wings. The return to form of Marc Guehi is a major positive for the Eagles, who may see the defender fly forward during set pieces.
