CRYSTAL Palace head to Italy on Thursday night standing on the cusp of a historic European semi-final, boasting a commanding 3-0 aggregate lead over Fiorentina in their Conference League quarter-final.
Oliver Glasner‘s Eagles put their troubling season behind them in the first leg, soaring into a three-goal advantage thanks to goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Tyrick Mitchell and Ismaila Sarr.
Fiorentina, managed by Paolo Vanoli, face a monumental mountain to climb at the Stadio Artemio Franchi if they are to salvage their European dream. Having reached two finals and a semi-final in the three editions of this competition, La Viola certainly know what it takes in high-stakes knockout ties – even though they have languished in the bottom half of Serie A all season.

The betting angle: Can desperate Fiorentina rattle Glasner’s resilient Eagles?
Trailing by three goals, Fiorentina have absolutely no choice but to throw caution to the wind from the very first whistle. Paolo Vanoli will demand high-octane pressure to unsettle the visitors, and with a stubborn home record that recently included a 1-0 victory over Lazio, the Italians will believe an early goal could spark a miraculous comeback.
Palace will be happy to sit and absorb it, and punish La Viola on the counter – with the pace of Sarr and strength of Mateta. The former has been vital for the Eagles throughout their European adventure, netting six times in the competition – including that all-important third goal last week.
With Fiorentina forced to gamble everything and Crystal Palace possessing the perfect tools to punish them, expect a beautifully chaotic, end-to-end European night where attacking football dominates the agenda.
