- Shelbourne are winless in their four league phase matches of this season’s UEFA Conference League (D1 L3), failing to score in any of them.

- Crystal Palace have won four of their last five matches away from home in all competitions (L1).
Shelbourne vs Crystal Palace prediction
Shelbourne, with Joey O’Brien at the helm, sit 34th in the 36-team UECL table with just one point collected and no goals scored from their opening four matches, but they have been difficult to play against with just four goals conceded in those games.
Crystal Palace have already suffered two surprise defeats in Europe this season but Oliver Glasner’s Eagles remain the firm favourites for the trophy and should get themselves back on track with a victory in Ireland.
Palace do have the distraction of a top four push in the Premier League but this, even with rotation, is a game that they should eventually ease themselves to three points in.
