Since promotion in 2013, Palace have won six of their first eight pre-season games, drawing the other two against noteworthy opponents, Philadelphia Union and FC Helsingør.
Including Palace XIs - largely made up of Development prospects, with the option to include first-team players - the Eagles have won 27 out of 53 pre-season clashes, drawing nine times and losing just 17 - many of these when largely Under-23s outfits have faced professional opposition.
Their best recent effort came in 18/19, when the first-team and Palace XI sides won seven out of eight games, drawing the other on the opening day. In 20/21, they enjoyed similar success with three wins, a draw and a Palace XI loss.
But, as supporters will remember, there can be only one most memorable highlight from the last eight pre-season calendars: beating Austrian outfit Grazer AK (GAK) away from home 13-1 (thirteen-one). It may have been a mismatch for Neil Warnock’s men, but seeing 13 goals hit the net is a rare sight for any fan.
Stephen Dobbie’s four-goal haul that day (including a five-minute hat-trick) will no doubt last long in the Scotsman’s mind, too.
