Analysis: Eagles face uphill battle to reach top eight

Strasbourg may have come out on top in the battle between the side fifth in the Premier League and fifth in Ligue 1, but Crystal Palace's players will be kicking themselves after failing to get a result from a game in which they had two open goals, 16 shots and 40 touches in their opponents' box. The match had a similar feel to Palace's Conference League loss to AEK Larnaca in October. Indeed, the result means Oliver Glasner's side now have won two and lost two of their Conference League league-phase matches, despite being the dominant side in those two defeats.
