The match, for which tickets remain on sale, will see Palace look to build on four points from their opening three league phase matches in the UEFA Europa League.
And the team will be bolstered by the return of both midfielder Quinten Timber and forward Jørgen Strand Larsen, both injured since the Eagles’ last European match away at Beșiktaș.
Sage told his pre-match press conference: “Both [players] will be back with us.
“They were training with us last week but not ready to play, but now they are ready to play.
“All [others] will be okay.”
The match is Palace’s eighth in the space of 25 days since 11th October, with the Eagles also competing in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
Sage said of preparations: “First of all it’s exciting, because if we play in a European cup, it’s because the team did well last year and won the Conference League. We have to deal with that but it’s a good thing.
“To deal with three different competitions, for the process, it’s always the same because we prepare in the same way.
“The difference between the three competitions is the time we have before the games to prepare. This time we have three sessions before the game, one more than the two [games] before, and that’s really important because we need time to work, especially when we’re in our situation.
“What we did during these sessions was really important for the confidence of the players, for their understanding of the gameplan, and for their capacity to apply it.”
