Hertha Berlin are battling against relegation in the Bundesliga and come into this having drawn their last three games. Their last home match was a 2-2 draw and they have scored seven in their last three at home, while Freiburg played out a draw against Hoffenheim last time out.

Arsenal are winless in their last five home games and two of their last three at the Emirates have been 1-1 stalemates. They face a Villarreal side unbeaten in the Europa League this season and with a 2-1 lead from the first leg to protect.

Hertha Berlin are battling against relegation and have scored an impressive seven goals in their last three games, but lapse defending has cost them at times and seven of their last eight at home have featured at least three goals, while five of Freiburg’s last eight on the road have also been high scoring affairs.

These two Portuguese giants have failed to score in just six of their combined 60 league games this season and Benfica’s last five games have featured a total of 19 goals, with only one of them failing to breach the over 2.5 goals line.

Benfica and Porto have little to lose heading into this O’Classico and with both teams scoring in three of the last four clashes we can expect an open ended game. Porto have scored in 28 of their 30 league games this season and Benfica have failed to score just four times.

Last week’s clash at Old Trafford was an eight-goal thriller and we can expect more lacklustre defending on Thursday. Roma need to go on the offensive from the first whistle and that should open up plenty of counter-attacking possibilities for the visitors, although Manchester United’s own defence was shambolic last week.

Manchester United hold a commanding 6-2 lead as they head to Rome but they will want to stamp their authority on the competition with another win in the second leg. They have won six of their last seven games and face a depleted Roma side that have lost four of their last five.

Sixth-placed Guimaraes may be out of form but they face a Farense side sitting second from bottom and with just two goals in their last five home games. The hosts are winless in their last eight league games in Faro.

Arsenal need to overturn a 2-1 deficit at the Emirates but their record at home has been very poor recently.
