Crystal Palace vs Shakhtar Donetsk Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Crystal Palace to Win
- Odds: -193 (Tonybet)
Crystal Palace return to Selhurst Park with a 1-3 lead from the first leg. They already showed the exact game plan that hurts Shakhtar: compact defending, fast counters, and direct attacks.
At home, Palace average 13.24 shots per home match – a level of attacking output the Ukrainian side can’t ignore as they chase the tie.
Fatigue and motivation also favour the Eagles. They rotated in their 3-0 loss to Bournemouth, a result that primarily reflected their focus on this competition. They’re well positioned to secure another win here.
Crystal Palace vs Shakhtar Donetsk Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Ismaïla Sarr to Score
- Odds: +204 (Tonybet)
Ismaïla Sarr opened the scoring after 21 seconds in the first leg – the fastest goal in Conference League history. He has netted eight goals in the competition and seven in the Premier League this season.
Sarr has recorded 37 shots across 24 Premier League matches, with 16 on target. He also averages a goal every 5.29 shots, indicating strong finishing efficiency.
With Shakhtar chasing a 1-3 deficit, their full-backs and centre-backs can’t afford to sit deep for 90 minutes. That should create space behind their defensive line, and Sarr is Palace’s most dangerous runner into that space.
Crystal Palace vs Shakhtar Donetsk Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Crystal Palace to Win + Ismaïla Sarr to Score + Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +280 (Tonybet)
Crystal Palace to Win: Despite allowing 16 shots and holding only 29% possession, Crystal Palace secured a convincing win in the first leg. With a two-goal cushion, Oliver Glasner’s men should follow it up with another victory.
Ismaïla Sarr to Score: Sarr leads the team with eight goals. Given his finishing ability and pace, he remains a key threat in this matchup.
Over 2.5 Goals: Shakhtar must commit numbers forward to stay in the tie, which should open up space for Crystal Palace on the counter. That dynamic increases the likelihood of a high-scoring contest.
Crystal Palace vs Shakhtar Donetsk Team News
Crystal Palace Team News
Last week brought a clear warning sign. Palace lost 3-0 to Bournemouth after making changes and looking physically flat.
That result exposed the team’s weakness when the back three are pulled into recovery runs, and the midfield fails to protect second balls. However, it also underlined the club’s priorities, with the European semi-final taking precedence.

Ismaïla Sarr is Palace’s most dangerous attacking threat in Europe, with eight goals in the tournament. Daichi Kamada also scored in the first leg, while Jørgen Strand Larsen added another. Jean-Philippe Mateta has tallied 10 goals in the Premier League.
Cheick Doucouré, Evann Guessand, and Eddie Nketiah are unavailable, while Tyrick Mitchell is listed as a doubt due to an Achilles issue.
Shakhtar Donetsk Team News
Following the 1-3 defeat to Crystal Palace, Shakhtar responded with a 1-2 win over Dynamo Kyiv in the domestic championship. Against the Eagles, they produced 16 shots and 1.15 xG, but their 71% possession didn’t translate into a favourable result, largely due to the English side’s efficiency in front of goal.
Alisson Santana and Luca Meirelles lead the club with three goals each in the Conference League. Kauã Elias has registered two goals and four assists, while Oleg Ocheretko scored Shakhtar’s only goal in the first leg.
They have no major injury concerns and are expected to have a fully fit squad available for the second leg.
