Will Crystal Palace or Shakhtar Donetsk advance to the Conference League final? We won’t have to wait much longer to find out. The two teams will face off this Thursday for the Conference League semifinal second leg at Selhurst Park. Considered the heavy favorite since the start of this edition, the London club is in a stronger position than ever in this two-legged tie. Last week, the Eagles managed to win by two goals (1-3) and now just need to finish the job in front of their fans.
It will take a true miracle for Shakhtar Donetsk to turn the tide in England. However, the Ukrainian league leader hasn’t said its last word yet. It has almost always put on a good show since the start of this Conference League. In the previous round, it didn’t give AZ Alkmaar a single chance (aggregate score: 5-2). Arda Turan and his men won’t want to take their foot off the gas this Thursday night and will try to upset a Premier League side.
