Crystal Palace-Rayo Vallecano preview

Will Crystal Palace manage to win a European trophy for the first time in club history? It would be a miracle, as the team had a very difficult season in the English Premier League. After last weekend’s defeat against Arsenal, it is clear they finished in 15th place. And that hurts. Still, the season can be saved if they win this final. Will this be the night of Jean-Philippe Mateta, or will another player step up?

While Crystal Palace have underperformed in the Premier League this year, Rayo Vallecano can look back on an excellent season. The club from the outskirts of Madrid ended the season with a 2-1 victory over Alavés and finished in eighth place. It remains a fantastic achievement by Iñigo Perez and his team. Can he crown the season with Conference League glory? Here are our Crystal Palace-Rayo Vallecano betting tips.

Conference League finale prediction

If there is one player who will take to the pitch with a good feeling, it is Sergio Camello. The 25-year-old Spanish striker started the season somewhat slowly, but has been performing very well in recent weeks. He scored in the 2-0 win against Villarreal and netted a goal plus an assist against Alavés last Saturday.
We believe he will also play a key role in the final and expect a similar performance.

Sergio Camello to score gives you odds of 5.50.

Crystal Palace-Rayo Vallecano betting tip

We expect both teams to find the net. This is especially likely because it is a very common outcome in Crystal Palace matches. In six of their last eight games, “Both Teams To Score – Yes” was the winning outcome. The same happened in three of Rayo Vallecano’s last four matches.

Both Teams To Score – Yes gives you odds of 1.83.
