Crystal Palace’s stumbling form presents a chance for Zrinjski Mostar to progress in the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League when the sides meet in the knockout phase play-offs. This first-leg match between the Nobles and the Eagles in Mostar comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
The league phase saw Zrinjski scrape through to the knockout play-off phase only on the advantage of goals scored. All their seven points in that phase have come in home matches, so the Bosnian side presents a stronger opposition when playing in familiar conditions. That could be a challenge for Crystal Palace, who have struggled in recent weeks.
The Eagles have failed to live up to expectations since mid-December, and that’s seen their form falter in all competitions. Palace have had their distractions on and off the field, but thankfully for them, their away form in this competition has been impressive. Will home comforts give Zrinjski a chance to surprise the Eagles in the first leg? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Zrinjski Mostar - Crystal Palace: Form Analysis
Zrinjski were beaten 3-0 away at Borac Banja Luka last weekend, which was their first loss after three consecutive wins in all competitions. Sandwiched between those wins were three wins in friendlies, so the Bosnians are armed with momentum for this fixture.
The hosts finished 23rd in the league phase of this competition with seven points (W2, D1, L3). They finished tied on points with five other teams, and only goals scored helped them finish inside the top 24 to qualify for this stage.
Zrinjski won two and drew one of their last three home Conference League games.
Palace were held to a 2-2 home draw by KuPS on matchday six, which saw them end with ten points (W3, D1, L2) and only two points outside the top eight positions.
That looks like a lifetime ago, because Palace’s recent form has been dire. The visitors lost 3-2 at home to Burnley last week in the Premier League, and that was their ninth defeat in their last 14 competitive games (W1, D4).

Zrinjski Mostar & Crystal Palace Squad Analysis
Zrinjski recently returned to competitive action, and as such, their absence list is small. Only Slobodan Jakovljevic is out of action for the home team, who also have no absences due to suspension.
The Bosnians have usually lined up in a 4-2-3-1 system, while they morphed into a 5-4-1 formation to add meat to their defensive line-up. The veteran forward Nemanja Bilbija was not included in their last two domestic games but was their best player in this competition with two goals this season.
Palace are set to miss key players Eddie Nketiah and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The two forwards between them have three goals and assists in total in the Conference League, which means Palace will be hampered by their absence. The visitors are also set to be without Cheick Doucoure.
Palace will continue to line up in their 3-4-3 system, which will have Ismaila Sarr looking to be a menace on the wings in the final third. He has two goals in his last three competitive games and could be crucial for their chances here.

Our Zrinjski Mostar vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Crystal Palace looked good to qualify for the round of 16 automatically, but a 2-2 draw on matchday six proved costly. They now have to go through the playoff route, but recent form has tapered down, and the Eagles have been struggling for a few months now. Palace have won just once since mid-December and could be forgiven for putting their energies into their flailing Premier League.
Both teams have had problems at their back recently, which could continue here, so our Zrinjski Mostar vs Crystal Palace prediction is BTTS.
Zrinjski Mostar vs Crystal Palace Alternative Predictions
