Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano: Conference League Final 2026 Preview
When Oliver Glasner took his seat in the Selhurst Park dugout for the first time in February 2024, even the most optimistic Crystal Palace fan wouldn't have believed the Austrian would guide the club to FA Cup glory and a European final within the next two-and-a-half seasons.
However, it has not been plain sailing since that glorious day at Wembley 12 months ago, when the Eagles beat Manchester City to lift the first major trophy in their 120-year history. Last summer, the club were demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League – with Nottingham Forest taking their place – after they were found to have breached UEFA ownership rules. At the turn of the year, some Palace fans even wanted Glasner gone.
The 51-year-old announced in January that he would leave this summer and that has helped get everyone on the same page in the final months of the campaign, with the Eagles easing through the Conference League knockout rounds to reach a European final in their very first season of playing on the continent.
They will be heavy favourites to triumph in Leipzig and follow Aston Villa in lifting a European trophy – leaving it up to Arsenal to complete an English clean sweep in Saturday's Champions League final.

Like Villa against Freiburg last Wednesday, Palace are playing a team who have never won a major trophy. Rayo Vallecano have historically been your classic yo-yo team: not quite good enough to stabilise in La Liga but often too good for the second tier.
That has changed in the past few seasons, though, gaining promotion under just-departed Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola in 2021, and then placing 12th in their first two campaigns back in the top flight. It has got even better under current manager Inigo Perez, who has led the club to successive top-half finishes and now a European final.
For a team who have always operated in the shadow of their illustrious Madrid neighbours, this has been a long time coming and now they can win the first major honour in their 102-year history.
In a season when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both failed to lift a trophy, it would feel pretty good for Rayo to say they were the most successful club in the Spanish capital in 2025/26.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Crystal Palace 2-0 Rayo Vallecano
Expect this to follow a similar pattern to Villa's win over Freiburg: once Palace go ahead, they should see out victory fairly comfortably.
