Last tips from the last 16, second leg

Tonight we are going to learn which teams have qualified for the next round. Some games are already decided from the first leg and some may go into extra time or even penalties.

The following games start at 19.00 CET:
- Bayer Leverkusen - Villarreal. After two goals advantage from the first leg Villarreal is a step closer to the quarter-final. Both teams are capable of scoring goals at this stage, but we think that this game will end up in a draw.
- Valencia - Athletic Bilbao. Two old rivals who knows each other perfectly well from the Spanish La Liga. At the end of February, Valencia lost to tonight's opponent at this same stadium. But this is a complete different match, with international referee and Valencia here is favorite for a win.
- Lazio - Sparta Prague. At Stadio Olimpico Lazio is hosting an unpleasant Czech team. Made mostly from home players Sparta is not fearing anyone when they are playing as visitors. It will be a tough job for the Italians to pass this opponent who only looks strong. It may be a draw in this game but Sparta have a slight advantage of winning.

From 21.05 CET are playing:
- Anderlecht - Shakhtar Donetsk. The first game looks easy for Shakhtar when they won 3:1 and are going in Belgium for the same cause - to win.  Anderlecht lately are playing good home games but a draw will be a fair result here.
- Sevilla - Basel. Sevilla is hoping to win this game after the scoreless draw from the first leg. Basel is also capable of scoring goals away and are hoping to achieve that as that is the only way to progress through. But the champions looks strongly who have to take this one.
- Sporting Braga - Fenerbahce. Tight match for the Portuguese side. They need more than one goal to go into last 8. Braga just know that do not have nothing to lose, Fenerbahce is playing awfully away and other than a clear win would be a big surprise here.
