Crystal Palace will take on Bosnia-Herzegovina’s HSK Zrinjski Mostar in the play-off round of the Uefa Conference League after finishing 10th in the league phase.
Palace were a seeded team in the play-off round draw meaning they will play the second leg of this tie at home with an understanding of what they need to do to make it into the last-16 of the European competition.
Palace have also been drawn on the same side of the bracket as Fiorentina, who will face Polish side Jagiellonia in the play-off round.
Other results from the draw include Swiss side Lausanne vs Czech club SK Sigma Olomouc and AZ Alkmaar of the Eredivisie taking on FC Noah from the Armenian Premier League.
The draw means Palace will face either Larnaca or Mainz in the last-16 and potentially Fiorentina in the quarter-finals.
