Shakhtar Donetsk don't really have the home advantage on Thursday night as the game will be played in Poland due to ongoing issues in Ukraine, and that has been the case all through this Conference League campaign.
The Ukrainian side has struggled more in their 'home' games than they have in their away games in Europe this season. Shakhtar have lost twice, drawn twice and won twice in their home matches, while they remain unbeaten in their away games with five wins and one draw.
Crystal Palace head to Krakow on the back of three wins, two draws, and two defeats on their travels in the Conference League, but those losses did come at the hands of teams that were probably stronger than Shakhtar, Ligue 1 Strasborg and Serie A side Fiorentina.
The Eagles have only lost one of their last eight European games, picking up four wins in the process. Both teams have scored in four of Palace's last seven Conference League fixtures, with the Premier League side only failing to score in three of their 14 European matches this season.
Eight of Shakhtar's 12 Conference League games have ended with both teams scoring, which includes three of their last four fixtures. The Ukrainians have only failed to score in one European game this season, a 0-0 draw with Rijeka during the league phase.
Shakhtar Donetsk 1-2 Crystal Palace
