AEK Larnaca vs Crystal Palace: TV Channel, Kick-Off Time and How to Watch Conference League Clash
Crystal Palace will attempt to finally overcome their least favoured European opponents as they journey to AEK Larnaca for a pivotal Conference League last-16 second leg encounter. The tie remains delicately balanced following a goalless stalemate at Selhurst Park last week, which extended a series of disappointing results for Oliver Glasner's squad this season.
Palace's Struggle Against Larnaca
Having also suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Larnaca during the league phase in October, Palace must significantly revamp their tactical approach if they are to secure victory on hostile territory tonight. This match represents the Eagles' final fixture for 23 days, with their scheduled Premier League clash against Manchester City postponed due to the Carabao Cup final, followed by the March international break.
Match Details and Broadcast Information
The crucial Conference League showdown between AEK Larnaca and Crystal Palace is scheduled to commence at 5:45pm GMT on Thursday 19 March at the AEK Arena in Larnaca, Cyprus. For viewers in the United Kingdom, comprehensive coverage will be available on TNT Sports 3, beginning at 5pm GMT. Subscribers can additionally stream the entire match live through the discovery+ platform.
Team News and Injury Updates
AEK Larnaca will likely be without Jorge Miramon, who sustained an injury during the first leg, with Petros Ionannu expected to fill the right wing-back position. The Cypriot side also faces absences due to injuries affecting Valentin Roberge, Youssef Amyn, Giorgos Naoum and Jimmy Suarez.
Crystal Palace will assess the fitness of Dean Henderson and Daniel Munoz ahead of kick-off, both having missed the weekend draw at Leeds United. Jean-Philippe Mateta made his playing return in the first leg following an unsuccessful transfer to AC Milan, receiving a mixed reception as a substitute, but is more probable to begin on the bench behind striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.
