In this away match, they aim to solidify the defense, strive to keep unbeaten, and historically advance to the UEFA Conference League semi-finals.

[Tips]:
Fiorentina's biggest problem is questionable motivation. The team still have relegation tasks in Serie A, and after a 0-3 defeat in the first leg, their hopes of advancing are extremely slim. With a crucial relegation battle against Lecce over the weekend, the team are highly likely to strategically abandon European competition. Even if they give their all, given their home win rate of only 25% this season and the defensive issues exposed in the first leg, the difficulty of winning by more than three goals against Crystal Palace is challenging.

Crystal Palace's advantages are extremely prominent, with the team in excellent recent form, holding a huge advantage and a calm mindset. They only need to defend steadily and counterattack away from home to advance.

Therefore, this match favors the away team, Crystal Palace, who are in excellent form, to at least remain unbeaten in regular time and smoothly advance to the UEFA Conference League semi-finals.
