Fenerbahce Marco Asensio clashes with Istanbul Basaksehir (Getty Images).

Brann vs Fenerbahce

Both sit just below mid-table on eight points in the Europa League, so this is basically a knockout for a top-eight push. Brann are tough in Bergen, winning seven of their last nine games and scoring freely and conceding few goals. They also recently smashed Rangers 3–0 five days after beating Brann 4-1.

Fenerbahce bring bigger-name firepower and strong domestic form but haven’t fully convinced on their European travels. They are unbeaten in their last 13 games, which includes eight wins. This clash feels finely balanced with a likelihood of both sides scoring in a game Fenerbahce are unlikely to lose.

Celta Vigo vs Bologna

Celta are mid-table in La Liga with just four wins from 15 but come into the match on the back of a 2-0 away win over Real Madrid. They’ve picked up three wins from five in the Europa League and are just one point above 18th-placed Bologna, who are enjoying good form in Serie A.

Bologna have lost just one in 15 matches and have been scoring freely. This is going to be hard to call as both sides have plenty of positives, so it will depend on how the players lace their boots and the chosen night’s tactics. Backing a packet of goals is a better option, although a draw could be a good way to hedge your bet.

Lyon vs Go Ahead Eagles

Lyon are flying in the top five of Ligue 1 and top of the Europa League with four wins from five and a goal difference of plus-9. Go Ahead Eagles have punched above their weight in the Europa League, even though they are low on the table. They racked up a 2-1 home win over high-flying Aston Villa in October, but their recent form is mixed, losing four of their last seven matches.

Everything points to a routine home win for the powerful Lyon side, and their strong defence could well pull off a win to nil.

Panathinaikos vs Viktoria Plzen

Panathinaikos sit in the chasing pack in Greece and usually make Athens a difficult away day, especially under the lights in Europe. Plzen are fifth in the Czech league and have enjoyed a strong continental campaign, powered by in-form forwards like Matej Vydra and Rafiu Durosinmi, who have both netted six times this season.

With both sides level on points in the league phase and in 14th and 13th place respectively, everything suggests a tense, open tie rather than a cagey one. Panathinaikos should have the advantage playing at home and having won five from seven, while Plzen have won just one from six.

Verdict

UEFA Europa League

Fenerbahce to scoop up a point or three at Brann, while Celta Vigo Bologna to share the points.

Lyon to beat off the challenge from G.A. Eagles, Panathinaikos to be too strong for struggling Plzen.
