The Conference League semifinals are kicking off! This Thursday, Shakhtar Donetsk and Crystal Palace face off at the Synerise Arena – Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana in Kraków for the first leg. Firmly atop its domestic league, the Ukrainian club is also having a strong run in this year’s Conference League. However, the team coached by Arda Turan will have their work cut out for them when they face the tournament’s heavy favorite.

After winning the FA Cup, Crystal Palace secured their spot in this year’s Conference League. Although they finished 11th in the group stage, the Eagles have been gaining momentum since the start of the knockout rounds. Oliver Glasner’s men have just defeated Fiorentina, the other heavyweight in this competition (aggregate score: 4-2). They won’t be taking their foot off the gas and will do everything in their power to reach the final.
