Strasbourg Crystal Palace Uefa Conference League

Strasbourg, France — Crystal Palace will face Strasbourg at the Stade de la Meinau on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in a key UEFA Conference League match. Both teams are looking to secure vital points as they aim for progression in the tournament.

Palace enters the match in strong form, having won four of their last five games, with notable clean sheets. Their last victory was a 2-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, marking their best start to the top flight since the 1991/92 season. They currently sit twelfth in the Premier League, with 20 points from 12 matches.

Manager Oliver Glasner‘s squad has adapted well to the rigorous demands of both domestic and European competitions. With six points from their first three group stage matches, the team remains in contention for a top position in the standings. After an unexpected loss to AEK Larnaca, Palace bounced back with a solid 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar.

On the other hand, Strasbourg, managed by Liam Rosenior, is currently seventh in the Ligue 1 table and has not lost in the Conference League, gathering seven points from their recent three matches. The French side is seeking its first win over an English club since a 3-0 victory over Liverpool in the UEFA Cup back in 1997.

Strasbourg is backing on its recent home performance, having lost only once at Stade de la Meinau across eight competitive matches this season. Their key player, Joaquin Panichelli, has been in outstanding form with ten goals this season, making him a player to watch for Palace.

Both teams will navigate several injury concerns. Palace will miss Cheick Doucoure and Caleb Kporha, while Strasbourg is without Abdoul Ouattara, Saidou Sow, and goalkeeper Karl-Johan Johnsson. Despite absences, both sides remain determined to leave a mark in this European fixture.

The match kicks off at 8:00 PM GMT and will be broadcast live in the UK on TNT Sports 1.
