Panathinaikos managed to claim a 1-0 advantage after an ill-tempered first leg that saw both sides reduced to 10 men but Betis can hit back at home. The Spanish side have just one defeat in their last nine at this venue, winning five, and are unbeaten at home in Europe (W3, D1). Betis have conceded in six consecutive home games and they kept just one clean sheet at the Estadio de La Cartuja in the league phase, so the visitors can strike in defeat in a tie that may require additional time.

AZ won the first leg 2-1 but Sparta can hit back and at least drag the tie into extra time at home. Sparta are on a five-game winning run at this venue and they came through the league phase unbeaten at home, while AZ have lost three of their four trips in the main draw of this competition.

Shakhtar won the first leg 3-1 and dominated Lech for large periods away from home. Lech will have to take some risks going forward and Shakhtar are dangerous on the counter, so the Ukrainian side should be able to finish this tie off with a victory.

Both teams have scored in five of Lyon’s last six games in all competitions and they face a Celta Vigo side that have seen goals at both ends in each of their last four assignments.

Genk edged the first leg 1-0 but we should see a bit more action in the return fixture in Germany.

Over 2.5 goals came up in the first leg, with Porto winning 2-1. The game was filled with plenty of chances for both teams, and this bet should come up again.

Both of their two meetings this season have ended with under 2.5 goals and with a place in the quarter finals up for grabs, this should be another close tie.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in 11 of Lille’s last 16 games and Aston Villa have failed to score more than one goal in their last nine outings so this could be another cagey affair, take under 2.5 goals in this Europa League second leg.

Strasbourg will look to protect their two one lead, and with a strong record at home, should do so in a controlled manner, limiting their opponents to few chances. Under 2.5 goals looks the value here.

Morgan Rogers hasn’t been quite as prolific in Europe as he has in the Premier League, both in terms of goals scored and volume of shots, but that may change now we’ve entered the business end of the competition. Rogers had four shots in the first leg without scoring and should get a few chances again on Thursday, and he can add to his solitary Europa League strike for the season.

Roma beat Bologna 1-0 earlier in the season and have won three of their last five at home. The tie is finely poised after a 1-1 first leg but Roma can make their home advantage count and secure a last eight spot inside 90 minutes.

Porto’s home advantage could prove crucial, with the atmosphere at the Dragão often lifting them in big European nights. They should have enough experience and quality to see the tie out, but Stuttgart’s attacking threat means this is unlikely to be comfortable. Porto need just a draw to see themselves through to the next round, and they should be capable of that, holding Stuttgart to a 2-2 draw in front of their home crowd.

Aston Villa have made a habit of grinding out results this season, winning 1-0 six times, and they can repeat the trick against a Lille side who have looked seriously toothless going forwards in recent times.
