About the match
Shakhtar's home leg is at a neutral venue — they've been displaced since 2022 and have used Hamburg, Warsaw and Gelsenkirchen across this run. Crystal Palace are in their first European semi-final ever, and Glasner has somehow kept league form steady alongside it. Mykhailo Mudryk's old club versus a side that's spent the season mining Premier League margins — different pressures, different football. Shakhtar are technically excellent but stretched thin by the displacement; Palace don't get fazed by atmospheres. First leg tends to favour the team that gets the away goal, even without the rule.
