It’s not just the form that the two teams are in. It’s also the result of the first leg—a 1-0 home win for Crystal Palace—and the decidedly different technical levels of the two teams. In short, it seems obvious to us that this match has a favorite, and that is the team playing in the top English league.
The final whistle in the UK last week did not allow Crystal Palace to sleep soundly. However, they know very well that it does not take much to win the Conference League group and compete in a European competition. In short, they just need to do their job without overdoing it and, above all, be much cooler in front of goal than they were in last week’s match.
We mentioned form at the beginning: the English side has had four positive results in a row, compared to three consecutive defeats for the Norwegians, who are paying dearly for their busy schedule during this period. In short, Palace is ahead, obviously.

The prediction
Palace should also win the return match, in a game with only one team scoring, the visitors. In any case, victory is not in question, despite the fact that the result of the first leg leaves everything open. In reality, this will not be the case.
