• Dynamo Kyiv lost 3-0 on aggregate to Pafos in Champions League qualifying

• Crystal Palace are the only team still unbeaten in Premier League

• Recommended bet: Crystal Palace to win 2-1

Crystal Palace are embarking on their first European campaign and they are favourites to add the Conference League trophy to the FA Cup they claimed last season.

Despite losing star man Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, the Eagles have made an excellent start to the new campaign and they beat champions Liverpool 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday.

They travel to Lublin in Poland for their first league phase fixture against Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv, who lost to Pafos in Champions League qualifying and Maccabi Tel Aviv in a Europa League play-off.

Team news

Dynamo Kyiv defender Denys Popov remains sidelined due to a calf injury, but Ukraine legend Andriy Yarmolenko could start on the right wing in a 4-3-3 formation.

Palace are still missing Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad and Caleb Kporha due to injury and goalkeeper Walter Benitez is in the final stage of his recovery from a finger problem.

Jean-Philippe Mateta should lead the line for Palace with Saturday's hero Eddie Nketiah and summer signing Christantus Uche as the attacking options on the bench.

The stats

Both teams have scored in seven of Dynamo's last eight matches and they have drawn each of their last three league games.

Six of Dynamo's last eight matches have featured over 3.5 goals, while six of Palace's first 10 matches this season have finished as draws in 90 minutes.

None of Palace's last nine games featured over 3.5 goals and the Eagles are unbeaten in 18 matches in all competitions

Prediction

2025 has been a memorable year for Palace, who beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final to qualify for Europe for the first time in their 119-year history.

UEFA's joint-ownership rules meant that the Eagles were demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League in the summer and they could prove a cut above their rivals in Europe's newest club competition.

Their opening fixture, against Ukrainian champions Dynamo at a neutral venue in Poland, should be a good test for Oliver Glasner's men.

Palace are buzzing after Saturday's 2-1 win over Premier League champions Liverpool, sealed by an injury-time goal from Nketiah, and that scoreline is worth a bet on Thursday.

Dynamo came up short against Cypriot champions Pafos in Champions League qualifying before losing 3-2 on aggregate to Maccabi Tel Aviv in a Europa League play-off.

Oleksandr Shovkovskyi's side have drawn their last three league matches 2-2, 2-2 and 3-3 and they pose a threat to Palace's defence.

Glasner's Eagles are ultra-consistent, but they do not often beat teams by a wide margin.

They came through a Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad 1-0 on aggregate, thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta's first-leg goal at Selhurst Park and their last two league victories were both by 2-1 scorelines.
