- "Celtic"
"Celtic" arrives in Spain with an advantage - winning the first home match 1:0. However, the current performance of "Barcelona" does not give much hope to the opponents. In the recent matches, they have been playing excellent, winning football. Knowing that the match will take place in Spain, the "Barca" players are considered favorites to advance to the next stage. In the Spanish championship, "Barca" is currently in third place and still can fight for the title. "Celtic" is a clear leader in their championship.
- "Gençlerbirligi"
In the first home match, "Gençlerbirligi" club unexpectedly won 1:0 against "Valencia", mainly because "Valencia" did not field all of their key players. In today's match, we will likely see the true face of "Valencia", with all players and certainly a victory.
- Club Brugge -
One of the average teams in the French league, "Bordeaux", won the first home match 3:1 against "Brugge". "Brugge" played in the Champions League this season, but got eliminated after the first stage. In front of their own fans, we can expect a fierce battle and a "Brugge" club's attack for victory.

These matches will be more of a formality. "Newcastle" crushed the opponents at home with a score of 4:1. "Mallorca" has been experiencing many setbacks lately. After being humiliated in England, they lost 5:1 to "Valencia" in the Spanish championship. After such unsuccessful matches, it would be difficult to imagine the English team leaving Spain after a defeat.

After the first match ended in a draw 1:1 in France, today "PSV" settles for another draw 0:0. However, it is important to remember that "Auxerre" has players of such a high level as D.Cisse, O.Kapo, so keeping their goal dry will be very difficult for "PSV". "Auxerre" will not have T.Tainio, who excelled in the previous matches.
- "Benfica"
After a draw in Portugal 0:0, today everything starts from scratch. Both teams need to win this match to advance to the next stage. "Inter", who played in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, is considered one of the favorites to win the UEFA Cup. A.Van der Meyde and C.Vieri are returning to the Italian team for today's match. Knowing that they are playing at home, the Italians are considered favorites.

The first match in Liverpool ended in a draw 1:1, so in order to advance to the next stage, "Liverpool" needs to score a goal. The recovering "Liverpool" striker M.Owen has proven many times that he can do it. Since the English team will need to attack, the French will have great opportunities for counterattacks. The chances of both teams are evaluated equally.
-
Struggling with financial crisis, "Roma" lost 0:2 away. Today, they will need to play very good matches to stop the attacks of "Villareal" and try to score themselves. And they will have to score. Italians have many stars and high-level footballers, but the club's financial situation and atmosphere in the club can overshadow this.
