Team News and Match Context
There are no major injuries reported for either side, though Crystal Palace's Eddie Nketiah is ruled out for the season. Both clubs are expected to field strong teams, but Palace may rotate slightly due to their three-goal cushion. This is only the second competitive meeting between the clubs, with Palace leading after a 3–0 win in the first leg. Fiorentina must score at least three goals to progress, as the away goals rule no longer applies, meaning a three-goal margin would send the tie to extra time.
Crystal Palace have advanced to the UEFA Conference League quarter-finals, facing Fiorentina in this crucial second leg on April 16. Fans can tune in on TNT Sports through HBO Max or Prime Video's TNT Sports channel for all the action.
