Fredrikstad vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

Travel to the Eagles on the outward journey, Fredrikstad could clearly have suffered more but ultimately, he is still alive in this double-opposition having only a small goal to make up for 1-0 defeat. Note, however, that it was the 3rd successive defeat in these qualifiers. Engaged in the 3rd round of the Europa League, Fredrikstad fell on a bone with Midtjylland 1-3 on the outward journey and 2-0 on return to Denmark. In the league, the local club has won only one of its last four games.

The overall dynamics are really bad for Norwegian training.  Crystal Palace has failed to take shelter from the first leg and will be obliged to play with the greatest seriousness in the world this second round. The winner of the FA Cup against Man City and more recently of the Community Shield against Liverpool began his premier League campaign by two draws with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 0-0 and at home against Nottingham Forrest last weekend 1-1 . 

Always suffering from his leg, Benjamin Faraas (19) will not play today. It is ultimately one of the only major absences to notify in Norwegian training. Note that the porter Martin Borsheim, recruited from Brann following the departure of holder Jonathan Fischer in Metz should occupy the cage. Let us not forget to evoke the loss of Jacob Hanstad (Sandefjord) and the striker Fallou Fall (21, St. Louis City in MLS). Author of 5 goals supplement 5 assists in the NUNEZ championship will be there just like Holten (4 goals, 4 assists) and Sorlokk (4 achievements, 3 offerings).

The young defender Chadi Riad will probably be forced to throw in the eponge today like Eddie Nketiah (ex-Arsenal), the promising Caleb Kporha, the Japanese international Kamada without forgetting to name the young Brazilian talent Brazilian Matheus Franca (21) and the former Lensois Cheick Doucoure, all injured. The last big information of the transfer window for Palace remains the loss of Eze, who left to join his childhood club (Arsenal). Still in the direction of departures, the left side Chilwell returned to Chelsea after a discreet loan and the local Ward figure left the club at 35 years old. In the other direction, the guardian Benitez (PSV) and the left side Borna Sosa (Ajax) were recruited at a lower cost to ensure the role of lining. Still at the club, Mateta did not fail to recall that he became a reference to the number 9 position by scoring the only goal of the first leg.
