Palace ended the Premier League season down in 15th place amid a seven-match winless run, though have long since had their main focus on this competition after brushing aside the likes of Shakhtar Donetsk and Fiorentina in the knockout stages. They are now favourites to overcome a Rayo team who are preparing for their first top-level final of any description as they continue to defy the odds under Inigo Perez, finishing eighth in LaLiga for the second successive campaign despite a tiny budget while overcoming Strasbourg in the last four of the Conference League.
