FCSB successfully navigated the most difficult part of their assignment in this tie, by claiming a 2-1 win over PAOK in a tough away atmosphere. They will now welcome PAOK to their stadium, where they have been quite strong this European campaign.

FCSB have only lost 1 of their 4 home games in the Europa League this season, this was against a Man United side who clearly had superior quality and depth, but otherwise, Elias Charalampous’ side have been tough to beat in Europe. They don’t need to win this game either, a draw will be enough to see them through to the next round.

PAOK haven’t travelled particularly well in Europe this season, the Greek Super League side have won just 1 of their 4 away assignments, only managing to score 3 goals in the process – 6 fewer than they have managed at home in Europe this season.

FCSB were pretty dominant in the first leg, even before PAOK were reduced to 10-men just before half-time, and can put in a secure performance at home to progress through to the next round.

There really isn’t much to split these sides, the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw and Roma did well to come away with that result after being reduced to 10-men on the 72-minute mark.

Both sides have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 games across all competitions, with neither showing the cutting edge required to blow the other away in their recent performances. Roma tend to be quite strong at home as shown by the fact they’re undefeated on home territory in the Europa League this season, but Porto’s away games in Europe have seen plenty of goals (3.25 per game).

Roma cannot rely on defensive acumen alone here to progress through to the knockout rounds, the Italian side will be slight favourites here on home ground but with this tie finely poised and BTTS landing in the first leg, we can expect the same here with very little to split these sides.

Real Sociedad claimed a 2-1 win over Midtjylland in the first leg of this Europa League tie. Imanol Alguacil’s side adopted their usual stubborn approach to put in a perfect away performance which sets them up well to progress through to the round of 16. Midtjylland could struggle to break down what is a resolute Real Sociedad side with the Danish outfit struggling for match sharpness.

Real Sociedad’s strength is in the defensive side of the game, especially at home where they’ve only conceded 2 goals across their 4 Europa League home games. This is a record which also stays strong when looking at their home games in La Liga this campaign – they’ve conceded 13 goals across their 12 home games in the Spanish top flight this season.

Midtjylland have had a black and white record on their travels in the Europa League this season, winning 2 and losing 2 of their 4 away games. They tend to be more inconsistent away from home as shown by their league form, which has seen them win just 3 of their 9 away assignments in the Superligaen.

Real Sociedad can put in a similar performance to the first leg to secure victory here, it’s unlikely that they will sit back with just 1 goal in the tie, and an early Real Sociedad goal will knock the wind out of the sails of Midtjylland.

Jose Mourinho is an expert in these two legged situations, his side come into this second leg with a 3 goal lead over Anderlecht, but the ‘Special One’ is unlikely to change his approach or many of his personnel with a wealth of experience to draw on in these situations.

Fenerbahce were dominant in the first leg and had the better chances in the game, as shown by the fact that the Turkish side won the xG battle (1.51-0.59) and were clinical when chances fell their way. This 3 goal lead will feel unassailable for Anderlecht, who have had a patchy run of form recently with just 2 wins from their last 5 games across all competitions.

Fenerbahce enter this game on the back of 5 straight wins across all competitions, suggesting that Mourinho has got this side firing and full of confidence which should be enough to guarantee their progression to the next round with a professional performance here.
