The Eagles began their European campaign with a 2–0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv but then suffered a narrow 0–1 defeat to Cyprus’s AEK Larnaca, failing to capitalize on several clear chances. Despite the setback, Oliver Glasner’s side quickly regained confidence: in the League Cup, Crystal Palace crushed Liverpool 3–0, and in the Premier League, they comfortably beat Brentford 2–0. The team displays compact defensive play combined with intense pressing high up the pitch. Special mention goes to the consistent form of striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has scored in four of his last five matches. At Selhurst Park, the fans create an atmosphere comparable to that of England’s top stadiums — a factor that could give the hosts an extra boost.

AZ Alkmaar have experienced a mixed start to their European campaign. In the first round, the team suffered a shocking 0–4 defeat to AEK Larnaca, but in the second, they bounced back with a narrow 1–0 home win over Slovan Bratislava, securing crucial points. Since then, Pascal Jansen’s men have put together a five-match winning streak across all competitions, strengthening their position near the top of the Eredivisie table. Traditionally, AZ plays attacking football with an emphasis on ball control and wing play. The team’s key figures remain Evander and Vangelis Pavlidis, one of the top scorers in the Dutch league. However, away from home, Alkmaar often struggles with finishing efficiency and defensive consistency. In London, the visitors will aim to impose a high tempo but must withstand the pressure of the crowd and the physical style of their opponents.
