Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano Preview and Team News
Crystal Palace Team News
Crystal Palace haven’t been in great form heading into this clash – they have won just once in their last five outings. On Sunday, they were defeated 1-2 by fellow London club Arsenal on the final day of the Premier League season.
In that game, Palace managed only 40% possession and produced a modest xG of 0.98. That said, they recorded 21 touches inside their opposition box and took eight shots in total.
Additionally, the Eagles registered 12 tackles and 10 interceptions, showcasing their ability to consistently clear their lines. That kind of defensive discipline will be crucial if they are to beat Rayo Vallecano in this all-important Conference League final.
Palace are also dealing with several injury concerns, as Chris Richards, Borna Sosa, Eddie Nketiah, and Cheick Doucoure are all doubtful.
Rayo Vallecano Team News
Rayo Vallecano, in stark contrast to their opponents, are unbeaten in their last five matches with three wins and two draws.
On Sunday, they beat Deportivo Alaves 2-1 to finish eighth in the La Liga standings, narrowly missing out on European qualification through the league. However, they have a chance of securing it if they win this final, as the winner will automatically qualify for the Europa League next season.
Against Alaves, Randy Nketa stood out with an 85% passing accuracy and 100% shooting accuracy. He also bagged a goal and completed every dribble he attempted.
Rayo will be without Ilias Akhomach and Luiz Felipe due to injury, but otherwise have a healthy squad available.
Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano Predicted Lineups
Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
- Pick: Crystal Palace to win or draw
- Odds: -417 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-2 Rayo Vallecano
We expect either a draw or a Crystal Palace victory. Despite inconsistent form in other competitions, they have been impressive in the Conference League and enter this fixture unbeaten in five of their last six matches in the tournament.
Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, have won twice in their last three Conference League encounters.
The sides appear well-matched, and a draw seems the more likely outcome. This prediction concerns only the result of this game and not the winner of the tournament, which may be decided after extra time or penalties.
Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -111 (20Bet)
Both teams should get on the scoresheet. Palace’s Ismaila Sarr is the tournament’s leading goalscorer (11) and will be the one tasked with getting his side off to a good start.
Daichi Kamada, with four assists, should provide support in the final third. Yeremi Pino, who leads the competition in expected assists with a 2.9 xA, is likely to play a key role too.
Rayo, meanwhile, have the most accurate long balls per match (28.2) and have won 69 corners. With Isi Palazon (six goal involvements) in attack, the Spanish club should use dead-ball situations effectively. Alemao (four goals) will be given a free hand in the final third as well.
