Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-0 Accrington
Palace should have enough in the tank to get past Accrington Stanley in this pre-season.
The visitors will be slightly rusty as it is a return to competitive football which is same for Palace.
However, given Palace’s quality we see the Eagles getting their perfect start.
