Palace come into this clash on the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat against League One Bromley on Saturday, a game that saw them concede three times in a dire second half display.

While results are not important in pre-season, the Eagles will be desperate to put their poor performance firmly in the past, and victory in the Como Cup gives them the chance to do so.

Lens beat Boulogne 4-1 in their first pre-season outing on July 18, a clash that was won by a two-minute second-half brace from 16-year-old midfielder Mezian Soares, and a late sealer by veteran Florian Sotoca, before a 2-2 draw with Belgian side Charleroi last Saturday.

Lens are yet to keep a clean sheet in pre-season, and are likely to concede once again despite the match being just 45 minutes long.

Our latest top football betting tip for July 28: Both teams to score

Fixture: Dinamo Zagreb vs Thun
Competition: UEFA Champions League Qualification
Date: July 28
Kick-off (SAST): 20:00
Prediction: Dinamo Zagreb win

Dinamo Zagreb left Switzerland with a 1-1 draw from the first leg thanks to Miha Zajc’s 86th minute strike, and that late response now frames a meeting where the Croatian champions enter with form, depth and numbers pointing their way.

Dinamo’s recent form in all competitions has been measured and effective: across the last 6 matches they have 4 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses, averaging 1.83 goals scored and just 0.5 conceded. At home across the last 3 in all competitions, they are 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, with no goals allowed.

Thun’s profile is more volatile. Over the last 6 in all competitions, they have 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, scoring 1.5 and conceding 2.67 on average.
