William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Thursday’s UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final second leg between Crystal Palace and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Our Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals (3/4), Crystal Palace 2-1 Shakhtar Donetsk (7/1).

The UEFA Europa Conference League returns this week with clubs from across Europe looking to fulfil their European dreams with the journey to Leipzig continuing here for two sides.

Crystal Palace return to Selhurst Park looking to book their spot in their first-ever European final, they take on Shakhtar Donetsk looking to defy the odds.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some UEFA Europa Conference League odds and betting angles for Thursday’s fixture:

Crystal Palace v Shakhtar Donetsk – Thursday, 8pm

Odds are moving – check the latest here.

Crystal Palace have one foot in their first ever European final following their 3-1 victory in the first leg last week, they return to Selhurst Park having suffered a 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Sunday but that just demonstrated the priority of this UEFA Europa Conference League clash.
Oliver Glasner will be hoping this tournament will give him the perfect leaving gift and they should bounce back here given the Eagles are unbeaten in their last five European games on home soil (W3, D2), punters can back Palace to win this at 11/20 with William Hill.
Crystal Palace have won both of their meetings with Ukrainian opposition in the Conference League this season, while Shakhtar are winless in their last six European clashes with English opposition, a big game incoming.
——————————–
Shakhtar Donetsk have reached the last four of a UEFA competition for the third time in the last eleven campaigns but history suggests their UEFA Europa Conference League journey could come to an end here given they’ve lost all six European ties in which they’ve lost the first leg by two or more goals.
Arda Turan’s side are unbeaten in their last eleven competitive away games in all competitions so they remain a danger for Palace but Shakhtar have won just one European game by a three goal margin since 2016.
We could be in for goals here on Thursday night given nine of Shakhtar’s last ten games have produced at least three goals, the Ukrainian side can be backed with William Hill at 14/1 to progress into the final.
