The 2009 UEFA Europa League final is set to be a showdown between Ukraine and Germany.

The first of two derby semifinals will be an all-Ukrainian affair as Shakhtar Donetsk takes on rivals Dynamo Kiev in a match that is set to send partisan tensions soaring in the Eastern European nation.

William Hill is favouring Dynamo Kiev to overcome Shakhtar Donetsk in the contest, with Kiev priced 10/11 to win their home leg of the UEFA Europa League semifinals. Shakthar Donetsk supporters will benefit from great value with their team priced 11/4 to score an away win.

Thursday’s second match pits two German clubs against one another, with German domestic cup semifinalists Werder Bremen up against Hamburg.

There’s excellent value to be had in this match with Hamburg, currently ranked 5th in the Bundesliga, priced 3/1 underdogs to beat a club currently languishing in 10th position in the German league.

William Hill has opened 18 additional UEFA Europa League betting markets for each semifinal, offering football fans the opportunity to bet on goalscorers, the final score and several other aspects of the UEFA Europa League semifinals.
