The emotions of the Conference League are back. This Thursday (18), Crystal Palace and KuPS, from Finland, face each other at 5 p.m. (Brasilia time), in a match valid for the 6th and final round of the championship phase of the third division competition of European football. The ball rolls at Selhurst Park, London, in a decisive atmosphere for both teams.
Where to watch
The match will be broadcast live on CazéTV (YouTube).
How to get to the Crystal Palace?
Crystal Palace are having a positive moment and arrive for the match full of energy. With a consistent campaign, the team needs a home result to secure a place in the top eight in the league stage and confirm direct seeding for the knockout stages.
The London club opens the 6th round in 9th place with nine points. From 8th to 4th, all opponents have 10 points.
However, coach Oliver Glasner continues to have some problems with his team for Thursday’s match. Indeed, Daniel Muñoz, Chad Riad and Caleb Kporha, injured, are out of the match.

How KuPS happens
In contrast, KuPS have only won one game in their Conference League campaign and are in 25th position, first outside the playoff seeding zone. In other words, the club must get the result in London to keep their dream of qualifying for the knockout stage alive.
The good news is that coach Jarkko Wiss has no last-minute problems with his squad and will be able to take the field in full force this Thursday.
