Team news: There is no major injury news to report on either side ahead of the crucial clash, other than Oliver Glasner confirming that Eddie Nketiah will miss the rest of the season before their 2-1 win over Newcastle. Both clubs are expected to field strong sides, though Palace may rotate slightly given their healthy three-goal cushion from the first leg.
Head-to-head record: This match marks only the second competitive meeting between these two historic clubs in European competition. Palace currently hold the upper hand after their dominant 3–0 victory in the first leg last week.
Match context: Palace enter this fixture in a commanding position, meaning Fiorentina must score at least three times to have any hope of progressing. The away goals rule is no longer in effect, so a three-goal margin for the hosts would simply send the tie into extra time.
