Crystal Palace have only scored more than two goals in two of their 13 games this season
AEK Larnaca have not conceded more than two goals in any of their eight away fixtures this term
Recommended bet: Crystal Palace under 2.5 team goals
Crystal Palace fought back to extend their unbeaten home record against Bournemouth on Saturday, and they are heavy favourites to return to winning ways when they host AEK Larnaca in matchday two of the UEFA Conference League league phase on Thursday.
The visitors began their Conference League campaign with a stunning 4-0 win over AZ Alkmaar earlier this month, but the Cypriots have had less good fortune on their continental travels and will be up against it at Selhurst Park.
Team news
Borna Sosa is suspended for Palace following his red card against Dynamo Kyiv, and he will join the injured trio of Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad, and Caleb Kporha on the sidelines, while Oliver Glasner may use this as an opportunity to rest some of his key players.
AEK Larnaca remain without goalkeeper Kewin Komar, with Zlatan Alomerovic set to replace him between the sticks.
Striking duo Enzo Cabrera and Karol Angielski are also sidelined, along with full-back Angel Garcia.

The stats
Crystal Palace have averaged 1.38 goals per game this season.
The Eagles are unbeaten at home since mid-February.
Glasner’s side have kept six clean sheets in all competitions this season.
AEK Larnaca have drawn one and lost three of their four European away games this term.
Prediction
Jean-Phillipe Mateta produced a man-of-the-match performance to single-handedly extend Crystal Palace’s eight-month unbeaten streak at Selhurst Park at the weekend, scoring a hat-trick in the thrilling 3-3 draw with Bournemouth.
However, the Eagles are expected to produce a more composed performance against AEK Larnaca.
That was only the second time Crystal Palace have scored more than twice in their 13 competitive games this season, and their average of just over a goal per game suggests that a low-scoring win could be on the cards.
AEK Larnaca, who head to Selhurst Park as huge underdogs, have drawn one and lost three of their four European away games this season, but they have managed to keep things fairly tight on their travels.
They conceded just six goals across these four Europa League qualifying away days and have not conceded more than twice on their travels all season, and they may be able to frustrate the Eagles in the capital.
