Shakhtar Donetsk take on Crystal Palace in a Conference League semi-final first leg played in Krakow due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine. As both sides look sharp up front, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Miners come into this tie in excellent form, averaging 2.30 points per game and scoring 2.10 goals per match. Forward Kaua Elias is expected to return to the starting XI after being rested, while defensively they remain solid, conceding just 0.90 goals per game and keeping 40% clean sheets.
The Eagles, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Liverpool, with form showing some inconsistency. The return of Adam Wharton strengthens the midfield, though absentees like Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucoure limit options. Notably, Palace’s away matches are wide open, averaging 3.40 total goals with BTTS hitting 100%. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
As both sides are strong in attack, especially Palace away, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Palace or Draw (neutral location).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 30 April 2026 at 20:00.
