Crystal Palace v Nantes live streaming on tv

Crystal Palace is set to host French side Nantes in their final pre-season friendly on August 11, 2024, before kicking off the 2024-25 Premier League season against Brentford on August 18.

This match at Selhurst Park will be a crucial opportunity for manager Oliver Glasner to fine-tune his squad as they look to build on their strong finish last season.

The 2023-24 campaign was a rollercoaster for Palace, who at one point were languishing in 16th place after a poor run of form under former manager Roy Hodgson.

The Eagles had lost 10 of their last 16 Premier League games before Hodgson stepped down, and Glasner's arrival in February initially brought little improvement, with just one win in his first seven league matches.

However, Palace managed to turn things around and finish in the top half of the table, raising expectations for the upcoming season.

As Glasner prepares his team for the Premier League opener, the match against Nantes serves as a final test of fitness and tactics.

The French side narrowly avoided relegation from Ligue 1 last season and will provide a stern challenge as they look to build on their survival.

This friendly is not just about the result but about continuing the momentum that Crystal Palace built towards the end of last season as they aim to make a strong start to their Premier League campaign.

Nantes finished 14th in Ligue 1 last season with a points per game average of 0.97.

The team struggled offensively, scoring just 30 goals, while their defense conceded 55 times, making them the second-worst attacking side and joint fourth-worst defensive team in the league.

The managerial situation at Nantes has been turbulent, with Antoine Kombouaré taking over from Jocelyn Gourvennec in March. Gourvennec had replaced Pierre Aristouy in November.

Under Kombouaré, Nantes has recorded two wins, two draws, and four defeats in competitive matches, though they have shown better form in pre-season, winning three out of four friendlies.

Nantes ended last season poorly on the road, failing to win any of their final three away fixtures in Ligue 1.

Before this slump, they had secured victories in four of their previous five away games.
