CRYSTAL PALACE V SHAKHTAR DONETSK BETTING FORM

Crystal Palace will be hoping to pick up where they left off last week after earning a 3-1 victory in the first leg. Oliver Glasner’s side shot out of the blocks, scoring within the first minute and managed to withstand a series of attacks from their opponents to come into Thursday’s fixture with a two-goal cushion. League form continues to be disappointing for Palace, but all eyes are now firmly on the Conference League until the end of the season.

CRYSTAL PALACE LEAGUE FORM

LOSS: Bournemouth 3-0 Crystal Palace, 3 May 2026
LOSS: Liverpool 3-1 Crystal Palace, 25 April 2026
DRAW: Crystal Palace 0-0 West Ham, 20 April 2026

Shakhtar Donetsk will be feeling disappointed after last week’s loss at home. The hosts conceded early and struggled to convert their possession dominance into clear-cut chances. Arda Turan’s men now have to overturn a two-goal deficit at Selhurst Park, an unfamiliar task given Shakhtar have been either level or ahead going into the second leg in all their Conference League ties this season. Can they stage a comeback on Thursday?
