  • After getting past Fiorentina in the previous round, Crystal Palace are looking to reach a European final for the first time in their history.

  • Oliver Glasner is stepping down at the end of the season, and will be desperate to deliver silverware to south London as his parting gift to the club.

  • However, Shakhtar aren’t a side to underestimate here, as they beat AZ Alkmaar 5-2 on aggregate in the previous round.

📈 Shakhtar Donetsk v Crystal Palace Form & Tactics

Crystal Palace were beaten 2-1 by Fiorentina in the second leg of the quarter-finals, but that was enough to see the Eagles through after they won 3-0 in the first leg. However, that result seems to have hurt their confidence a bit - Palace were unbeaten in six games before that defeat, but have since been dealt two disappointing results. They were held to a 0-0 draw against a struggling West Ham side, before then losing 3-1 against Liverpool. However, Glasner’s men had their fair share of chances in that match, and they just lacked ruthlessness in the final third. They accumulated 2.26 xG from their 14 shots, forcing Freddie Woodman into five crucial saves. They will hope to find their shooting boots on Thursday night, and get back on track.

Shakhtar currently sit top of the Ukrainian top flight, and they are comfortably eight points clear of second. They have also coped well in the Conference League this season, automatically qualifying for the knockout rounds after finishing sixth during the league phase. They scraped past Lech Poznan with a 4-3 aggregate win in the round of 16, but were much more convincing against AZ Alkmaar in the quarter-finals, coming away with a 5-2 victory over the two legs.


📔 Shakhtar Donetsk v Crystal Palace Formation & Team News

Shakhtar will set up in their familiar 4-2-3-1 formation, with Alisson Santana on the right wing, and Newerton on the opposite flank. Kaua Elias looks set to lead the line, and he could have a tough task against the Palace backline here. Led by Arda Turan as their manager, Shakhtar will go full strength with this being a massive game for them.

Glasner is also expected to name a strong eleven for the first leg, despite going full strength against Liverpool last time out. The Austrian manager opted for a full strength lineup during the quarter-finals, resting key players for the league games, so Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta should keep their spots in the eleven midweek. With Evann Guessand out injured, Brennan Johnson should continue alongside them in the front three, with Yeremy Pino on the bench. Adam Wharton made his return from injury at Anfield, and he looks set to start alongside Daichi Kamada here.
