Daniel Munoz to Score Anytime

I’ve gone with a slightly different approach for this second leg meeting having had both of my bets land in this qualifier last week.

Munoz is an excellent attacking option for Crystal Palace from wing back and was unlucky not to find the back of the net in the first leg, striking the post with a header after a late run into the box.

Munoz regularly makes this run and is even more important to the Eagles now Eze has moved on to Arsenal. Munoz provided 13 goal contributions last season, scoring six goals across his 46 appearances for Palace which is a steady record for a fullback. Palace would be naive to think one goal will be enough here as it is their first experience of an away tie in Europe.

Munoz should continue to get into promising positions to end up on the scoresheet here and picked up an assist in Palace’s 1-1 draw with Forest at the weekend, showing his attacking abilities with this Palace side.

Both Teams to Score - No

Palace really should have made more of their dominance at Selhurst Park but they’re still pretty well fancied to come through this tie despite a narrow advantage from the first leg. Palace limited Fredrikstad to just five shots in the first leg, none of which found the target.

Oliver Glasner’s side only conceded 25 goals across their 19 away games in the Premier League last season. Only four sides in the top flight conceded fewer goals on the road than the Eagles last season. Fredrikstad do have a pretty promising record at home in the Eliteserien this season but we can expect a similar level of control from Palace as they had in the first leg which should see them win to nil for the second week in a row.

🔴 Fredrikstad still in with a chance

Fredrikstad haven’t played since the first leg with their match against Brann which was supposed to be between these two legs being postponed.

It’s not clear if this will be that much of an advantage for the home side seeing how much they are underdogs for this tie, but it may help from a fitness standpoint as Palace contested an intense 1-1 draw against Forest at the weekend.

Fredrikstad have a pretty decent home record in the Eliteserien. They have won six of their 10 home games domestically and have scored 17 goals across these fixtures.

This would indicate that this could be a slightly more awkward assignment for Palace seeing as they have only drawn one of these matches so the Norwegian’s sides’ results tend to be pretty black and white.


🔵 Fatigue the main concern for Palace

Palace would have been slightly frustrated not to have made more of their dominance in the first leg. Oliver Glasner was particularly frustrated at times with the lack of cutting edge from the Eagles who only scored one goal from the 25 shots they had on the Fredrikstad goal, five of which found the target.

This can be costly in European ties and Palace could be in for a rude awakening as they haven’t found themselves in this situation before in recent seasons. However, the experience of Oliver Glasner in European competition should aid them in getting over the line.

They’ve made it more difficult for themselves than it needed to be but they should still have enough to come through this tie.
