The stakes couldn't be higher as the Conference League semi-finals reach their decisive second legs. With only 90 minutes (or more) separating these teams from a spot in the final, the tension is palpable.
First up, Crystal Palace—the tournament's overwhelming favorites—welcome Shakhtar Donetsk to Selhurst Park. The Eagles carry a commanding 3-1 lead from the first leg, putting them firmly in the driver's seat. Palace's electric attack, led by the likes of Mateta and Sarr, will look to finish the job against a Shakhtar side desperate for a miracle comeback.
Meanwhile, the other semi-final offers a much tighter affair. Strasbourg, the surprise package of this European campaign, host Rayo Vallecano trailing by a single goal. The French side will need to be at their best to overturn the deficit against a disciplined Spanish outfit that knows how to protect a lead. Expect fireworks as both teams push for a place in the final.
Here are the official lineups for tonight's clashes:
Strasbourg (3-4-1-2): Penders; Doué, Omobamidele, Chilwell; Moreira, El Mourabet, Doukoure, Outtara; Barco; Enciso, Goda.
Rayo Vallecano (4-3-3): Batalla; Rafiu, Lejeune, Ciss, Pep Chavarria; Palazon, Valentin, Lopez; Akhomach, Alemao, De Frutos.
