London – Crystal Palace, somewhat surprisingly, has to play an extra round in the Conference League. Coach Oliver Glasner’s team couldn’t get past a 2-2 draw at home against Kuopion PS in the last round of the league phase on Thursday and are therefore only in tenth place after six match days. Only the top eight are in the round of 16, the next 16 have to go to the play-offs first. FSV Mainz 05 is firmly in the round of 16 after a 2-0 win over Samsunspor.
