Crystal Palace vs Fiorentina Preview

Crystal Palace host Fiorentina at Selhurst Park on Thursday evening in the first leg of a Conference League quarter-final — the first ever meeting between these two clubs in European competition. Kick-off is 20:00 GMT.

Crystal Palace head into this one having won their most recent outing — a 2-1 win away at AEK Larnaca in the Conference League second leg on March 19, completing a comfortable aggregate win that secured their place in the last eight. Prior to that, they drew 0-0 at home with Leeds United in the Premier League on March 15. Earlier in this run, a 0-0 home draw with AEK Larnaca in the first leg, a 3-1 win away at Tottenham Hotspur in the league, and a 2-1 defeat away at Manchester United complete a sequence of two wins, two draws and one loss — a side that has been solid without being spectacular domestically but whose European form has been efficient enough to progress. With 16 goals scored in the Conference League, a goal difference of +8 and just 8 conceded — the better defensive record between these two sides in the competition — Palace will take confidence from their clean defensive sheet and the backing of the Selhurst Park crowd in a European quarter-final.

Fiorentina travel to south London in excellent form — four wins and one draw from their last five across all competitions. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win away at Hellas Verona in Serie A on April 4. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 at home with Internazionale on March 22 and won 2-1 away at Raków Czestochowa in the Conference League second leg on March 19 — advancing comfortably on aggregate. Earlier in this run, a 4-1 win away at Cremonese in the league and a 2-1 home win over Raków Czestochowa in the first leg complete a sequence that reflects a side hitting their stride at exactly the right moment in the season. With 17 goals scored in the Conference League, a goal difference of +6 and 11 conceded — more than their hosts — Fiorentina are the more prolific side but have been slightly less solid defensively.

There is no head-to-head history between Crystal Palace and Fiorentina, making this a genuinely open tie with no historical precedent to draw upon for either club.
