SHAKHTAR DONETSK V CRYSTAL PALACE BETTING FORM

Shakhtar Donetsk are sitting in pole position in the Ukrainian Premier League and will be hoping for a double this year with the Conference League final now in touching distance. Arda Turan’s side have been imperious in the league, and their European form has been strong as well, with heavy scoring displays in the round-of-16 and quarter-finals. They will have a tough task on Thursday as Crystal Palace come to town.

SHAKHTAR DONETSK LEAGUE FORM
WIN: Kudrivka 1-3 Shakhtar Donetsk, 26 April 2026
WIN:
Zorya Luhansk 1-2 Shakhtar Donetsk, 23 April 2026
WIN: Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 Polissya Zhytomyr, 20 April 2026

Crystal Palace are unlikely to qualify for European football next year, but the Eagles are all set for a charge at silverware in the Conference League this season. Palace have been good in Europe this season, but may need to find another gear against a strong Shakhtar side. Oliver Glasner, who will leave the club at the end of the season, has taken Palace to new heights during his reign, and will be hoping to end his tenure with another trophy.

WHAT ARE THE BEST ODDS ON SHAKHTAR DONETSK V CRYSTAL PALACE?

Shakhtar will be the underdogs in this one, with Turan’s men yet to be tested against opposition as strong as Palace this season. You can back the hosts to win the match at 3/1, or at 11/4 in our 2 Up market which pays out if your team goes up by two goals during the game.

Palace are favourites, with the visitors currently priced at Evens to win, or at 19/20 in our 2 Up market. These two sides have never played each other before, so we may see cagey displays from both sides. If you’re expecting a stalemate, you can back the draw at 23/10.

SHAKHTAR DONETSK V CRYSTAL PALACE FOOTBALL SPREAD BETTING PRICES

We also offer a number of spread betting markets for Thursday’s clash, including our “Goal Supremacy” market. This market currently has Crystal Palace favoured by 0.45-0.65 goals. This means that if you placed a “buy” bet, you would need Crystal Palace to win to start turning a profit, and if you sold, you would need Shakhtar Donetsk to win. If you bought, a one-goal victory for Palace would win you 0.35 times your stake, a two-goal victory 1.35 times your stake, and so on.

However, if you bought and Crystal Palace lost or drew, you would lose money. Here, a one-goal loss would cost you 1.65 times your stake, a two-goal loss 2.65 times your stake, etc.

You can also bet on the total number of goals scored during the game with our Total Goals market. This is currently set at 2.35-2.55. If you’re expecting plenty of goalmouth action, you would “buy” and would need at least three total goals to turn a profit. Alternatively, if you expect a low-scoring affair, you could “sell” and would need two goals or fewer to turn a profit.

If you sold and the game ended 1-0, you would win 1.35 times your stake. However, if you sold and the game ended 4-2, you would lose 3.65 times your stake. It’s important to remember that when spread betting, if your bet loses, you can lose multiples of your stake, so be sure to choose appropriate stake sizes for each market.
