In previous years, Shakhtar and Crystal Palace have not met in European competitions (although the Londoners have already beaten Dynamo in the Conference League this season – 2:0). Although the Donetsk team has played against other English clubs (Arsenal, Tottenham, Fulham, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City) 19 times. The Orange and Blacks have won 5, drawn 4 and lost 10 times (goal difference – 21:36). The last time Shakhtar defeated the representatives of Foggy Albion was in 2017, when they beat Manchester United – 2:1 (after that there were draws and 4 losses).
