Four days after a humiliating 5-0 defeat at Brighton, the Eagles travel to Istanbul to face a Beikta side who have won both of their Europa League games and are almost unbeatable at home.Sundays defeat at the Amex was one of the worst afternoons in Palaces recent history. They conceded three goals in the first 10 minutes, and the final scoreline equalled the clubs heaviest defeat to their M23 rivals in 70 years. Sage admitted afterwards that he felt only one feeling shame, and he apologised to the supporters.That came just days after a 3-2 defeat at Sages former club Lyon on matchday two of the Europa League, where second-half goals from Yeremy Pino and Daichi Kamada werent enough to spark a comeback. Palace have now lost three of their last four games in all competitions, they have conceded 17 Premier League goals, the most in the division, and they have let in a goal inside the first 10 minutes in each of their last three matches.Reports suggest this game and Sundays home meeting with Newcastle could be crucial to Sages future.Vincenzo Italianos Beikta have made an excellent start in Europe. They have won both of their league-phase games, scoring seven goals, and they sit fourth in the table. Domestic form has been less consistent. They are fifth in the Sper Lig, four points behind leaders Galatasaray following Mondays 2-0 defeat at Trabzonspor, and they have yet to draw a league game this season, winning five and losing three.Home form is where they really shine. Beikta have won all four of their home league games so far, scoring 12 goals, and seven of their last eight matches have produced over 2.5 goals.This will be the first-ever meeting between the two clubs.Europa League Table UEFA Europa League 2026 World #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 2 1 Juventus22007166 W W 2 Bayer Leverkusen22006066 W W 3 Benfica22006156 W W 4 Beikta22007346 W W 5 Bournemouth22005146 W W 6 Omonia Nicosia22004046 W W 7 Ferencvarosi TC22005236 W W 8 Lyon22005326 W W 9 Sunderland22003126 W W 10 Olympiakos Piraeus22003126 W W 11 Sparta Praha21105234 D W 12 Union St. Gilloise21104134 D W 13 Rennes21102114 W D 14 Dinamo Zagreb21101014 W D 15 Crystal Palace21016333 L W 16 AC Milan21014223 W L 17 Jagiellonia21014313 W L 18 OFI21013213 L W 19 Torreense21013303 L W 20 AZ Alkmaar21012203 W L 21 Red Bull Salzburg210114-33 L W 22 Real Sociedad201123-11 D L 23 Lillestrom201123-11 D L 24 Levski Sofia201112-11 D L 25 Hapoel Beer Sheva201112-11 L D 26 Sturm Graz201103-31 L D 27 NEC Nijmegen201116-51 D L 28 Celta Vigo200213-20 L L 29 Anderlecht200213-20 L L 30 1899 Hoffenheim200225-30 L L 31 Plzen200215-40 L L 32 Marseille200215-40 L L 33 Celtic200227-50 L L 34 Ararat-Armenia200227-50 L L 35 Celje200205-50 L L 36 Lech Poznan200208-80 L L Position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 : Promotion Europa League (Play Offs: 1/8-finals) Position 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 : Promotion Europa League (Play Offs: 1/16-finals) Team News for Beikta v Crystal PalaceBeikta will be without captain Orkun Kk and winger Milot Rashica, both of whom are injured.
