Crystal Palace v Botafogo: Mid-season friendly
Crystal Palace and Real Valladolid face off in a friendly matchup on Friday

Crystal Palace and Real Valladolid go head-to-head in a friendly matchup at the Selhurst Park Stadium on Friday.

The Eagles head into the weekend without a win in their last five matches across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Crystal Palace failed to find their feet last Sunday as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Italian heavyweights Napoli.

They have now failed to win their last five matches across all competitions, stretching back to a 2-1 win over West Ham United in the Premier League on November 6.

The Eagles have returned home where they are unbeaten in four straight matches and will look to make use of their home advantage to arrest their slump.

Meanwhile, Real Valladolid were held to an uneventful goalless draw by Ligue 1 side Clermont Foot last time out.

Prior to that, they were on a run of two consecutive friendly defeats, losing against Athletic Club and LOSC Lille.

Real Valladolid are currently 12th in the Spanish La Liga standings, while they have progressed to round two of the Copa del Rey courtesy of a 2-0 victory over amateur side UD Barbadas in November’s cup opener.
