Crystal Palace Set For Key Conference League Test Against AZ Alkmaar

Crystal Palace return to European action with the sense that this fixture carries genuine weight. Their Conference League journey began with optimism, then dipped suddenly, and now meets a defining point as AZ Alkmaar visit south London. For a club experiencing its first European campaign, momentum matters, and the home crowd at Selhurst Park will feel that clearly tonight.

Palace Form Shifts Ahead Of European Challenge

Oliver Glasner’s team opened the League Phase with a confident 2-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv, a performance that suggested Palace were adapting quickly to the rhythm of continental football. Daniel Munoz and Eddie Nketiah provided the goals and the Eagles looked sharp, compact and decisive.

Matchday two, however, provided a reminder of the unforgiving nature of Europe. Palace were beaten 1-0 by AEK Larnaca, and the Cypriot club halted what had been an historic Selhurst Park evening. That setback came during what the manager himself described as a mini slump, with four matches without a win across all competitions. Since then, victories over Liverpool and Brentford have steadied confidence and restored the aggressive edge that Glasner demands.

AZ Arrive With Purpose And Domestic Momentum

AZ Alkmaar sit third in the Eredivisie table, a few points behind the pacesetters, and they arrive knowing that another win could reshape the group dynamics. They too have one win and one defeat in the Conference League. Sven Mijnans struck the decisive goal against Slovan Bratislava in their previous outing, and his influence between midfield and attack remains central to the way AZ progress the ball.

With the League Phase approaching its midpoint, both clubs understand the significance of this fixture. Palace need to reinforce their home advantage, while AZ travel with a clear identity and a reputation for developing intelligent, technically reliable footballers.
