The semi-final stage of any major tournament is a significant and nerve-wracking milestone. Often, that final step toward the championship match proves even more daunting than the entire journey leading up to it.

For the fourth time in 17 years, Shakhtar Donetsk have reached the final four of a major European competition. Their first semi-final experience—now the stuff of legend—saw them overcome Dynamo Kyiv in the only all-Ukrainian continental tie to date, with Ilsinho’s late winner propelling the Miners toward UEFA Cup glory.

Since then, Shakhtar have faced the likes of Sevilla and Inter Milan at this stage. Now, a new challenge awaits in the form of Crystal Palace. While the Londoners are hunting for their first-ever major international final, the Ukrainian side brings a wealth of pedigree to the UEFA Conference League semi-finals. Ahead of tonight's first leg at the Henryk Reyman Stadium in Krakow, terrikon.com invites you to share your prediction.
