Crystal Palace are in action today as they take on Ula in a Club Friendly at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, continuing their pre-season preparations.
What’s at stake for Crystal Palace?
The Eagles finished the 2025 Premier League campaign in 15th place with 45 points (11 wins, 12 draws, 15 losses), narrowly avoiding the drop. Their final record showed 41 goals scored and 51 conceded, leaving them 40 points behind leaders Arsenal. With the new season yet to begin, this friendly offers a chance to fine-tune tactics after a tough end to last term, including a 1-2 loss to Arsenal on 24 May 2026.
How have Crystal Palace performed recently?
Recent form has been shaky, with no wins in their last five matches (0W-2D-3L), including back-to-back losses. The side’s most recent outing was a 1-2 defeat to Arsenal, and they’ll be eager to bounce back in this pre-season test.
What’s next for the Eagles?
After today’s clash, Crystal Palace’s next confirmed fixture is an away trip to Coventry on 21 November 2026. With the Premier League season still weeks away, these friendlies are vital for building momentum and addressing last season’s defensive frailties, which saw them concede 51 goals.
