Recent form

Palace are in mixed recent form. They have won only two of their last six games, but the two wins were in their two most recent games.

Alkmaar are in brilliant form, and have won their last five games in a row. They are third in their domestic league, behind PSV and Feyenoord.

What’s been said

Oliver Glasner: “There is never a must win. Yes, we want to win, we will do everything to win the game, but Alkmaar is a very experienced team in European football. Maybe not for their age (of the club) but they always qualify for European football.”

Maarten Martens: “It (Crystal Palace) is a team with very specific qualities and a very clear playing style. They have really good weapons in transition: speed, strength, and good organisation.

“They often give the initiative to the opponent, and I expect that to be the case on Thursday as well. It will be important that we’re well organised if we lose the ball.”
