Crystal Palace predicted XI v Strasbourg: Jean-Philippe Mateta and Maxence Lacroix to start

Frenchmen Jean-Philippe Mateta and Maxence Lacroix are set to start for Crystal Palace when they head to face RC Strasbourg Alsace in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday night.

Both French players are regulars under Oliver Glasner, and Mateta has recently made the breakthrough into the national team set-up. Glasner has a settled side, and so there aren’t expected to be any changes to the side that beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 over the weekend, as per a report from L’Équipe.

Caleb Kporha is the only player who will miss this game for the Premier League side through injury. Glasner is expected to opt for a 3-4-3 formation, with Marc Guéhi set to captain his side in France, at the Meinau tonight.
