The Athletic Club feeds big ambitions in this Europa League, especially since the final will take place in its lair, in San Mamés. Very convincing during the league phase, Bilbao ended in 2nd row in the ranking with a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Unfortunately, the Basques were not spared by the draw for the 8th finals. On the move on the field of Roma during the first leg, they were equal but gave in additional time after having received a red card in the 85th minute 2-1. 4th by Liga, Bilbao hopes to compost his ticket for the next Champions League. The setback conceded on the lawn of Atletico Madrid 1-0 ended a series of 16 games without defeat in the championship 9 victories and 7 draws. Last weekend, the Athletic received Mallorca with the hope of re-coming a positive dynamic to come.

Overcombethe during the league phase, Roma had to be satisfied with 15th place and was therefore forced to go through the dams where it came to the end of Porto 4-3 at the end of the round-trip matches. Last week, the La Louve club took a small option on the quarter-finals by beating Bilbao not without difficulty in front of its tifosi 2-1. The return match promises to be very contested in San Mamés. Much more consistent since the arrival on the bench of Claudio Ranieri, the Giallorossi has completely relaunched themselves in the race for European lamps in the league. They chained 11 games without setbacks in Serie has 8 wins and 3 draws before traveling to Empoli last weekend to come.

At the end of a balanced meeting, Frankfurt put itself in a favorable position in these 8th finals of the Europa League by winning in the lair of Ajax 1-2. Winner of this C3 in 2022, the Eintracht closed the league phase with a good 5th place and logically served as a credible candidate for the title this year. On the national scene, Hugo Ekitike's teammates fight to finish in the Top 4, synonymous with qualification for the next Champions League. After aligned 7 games without setbacks 4 wins and 3 draws, they fell against the two Bundesliga Cadors: Bayern Munich 4-0 and Leverkusen 1-4 . Last weekend, Frankfurt hoped to revive with the reception of the to come from the coming Berlin. The last week, Ajax opened the scoring in the 10th minute but then let the Eintracht win in its lair 1-2.

This result is obviously a bad operation before the return match in Frankfurt. Only 12th at the end of the league phase, the training based in Amsterdam then difficult to end the Union Saint-Gilloise in 3-2 dam after extra time after round trip. In its championship, Ajax is in very favorable tank to win the title this season. The men of Francesco Farioli have made the difference recently with a series of 9 consecutive victories.

On the move to Plzen last week, Lazio did the work by winning thanks to a goal scored in the 1-2 game stops . During the league phase, the Roman formation posted very good arrangements to finish in 1st place in the ranking with a record of 6 wins and 1 draw and 1 defeat. This logically gives him the status of credible favorite in this Europa League. In the league, the biancocelesti are struggling to qualify in the Champions League. After a setback suffered at home against the Fiorentina 1-2, they resumed their walking forward with 5 games without defeat 3 victories and 2 draws. Last Monday, Lazio received the Udinese to try to extend its beautiful series to come.

Plzen did not deserve in the first leg but finally lost against Lazio at home 1-2. If the performance is interesting, the result seriously annoys the hopes of qualification for the quarter -finals. To arrive at this level of the Europa League, the Viktoria finished 16th in the first phase before excluding Ferencvaros in 3-1 dam at the end of the round-trip matches. In his championship, Plzen is currently 2nd but largely preceded by Slavia Prague. Beaten at home by the 1-3 leader, the Czechs then won on the lawn of the Mlada Boleslav 0-2 before moving to the classified by Pardubice last weekend to come.

All the lights are green for Olympique Lyonnais in this Europa League, especially after its victory won at the end of the game in Bucharest last week 1-3. Overall superior to their evening opponent, the French ended up taking up the ascendancy at the end of the game in order to approach this return match with a nice advance of 2 goals that will have to be preserved. The Gones undoubtedly have confidence in their capacities, they who took a very good 6th final place during the regular season, during which they lost only once, and which allowed them to avoid dams. In the league, however, the players of Paulo Fonseca will have to redouble their efforts to try to finish in the top 4 of the ranking. Winners 3 times in 4 days, they will play a complicated match against a direct competitor in the race for Europe, Nice, Sunday evening.

The FCSB, for its part, fell in love with the match last week after being able to equalize shortly after the time of play. Dominated fairly largely over the second period, the Romanians collected 2 goals in the last 5 minutes of the real time that 1/4 final. However, during the roadblocks, they had achieved a good performance by winning at the 1-2 first leg as on the return 2-0 against the PAK Salonica. The one that was previously called the Steaua is otherwise still in the running for the title of champion in Romania before challenging its dolphin, the CS U Craiova next weekend.

Manchester United is clearly painted, but no doubt that Cled Trafford will be crowded tonight for this return match. A glimmer of hope to save a porous season flows within this Europa League. As a reminder, the FA Cup course has ended recently, at home against Fulham at the end of the fateful session of penalties. Casually, a place in the quarterfinals is at home today, and the result of the first leg suggests a good feeling 1-1. As a reminder, the Red Devils did not leave in the Netherlands being in great confidence following their setback against Tottenham 1-0 , and a draw at Everton 2-2 . To talk about the PL, the men of Ruben Amorim are installed in the 2nd part of the table and welcomed very heavy last weekend, Arsenal to follow.

Real Sociedad is clearly not as influential in the game as last season, where as a reminder, she played the knockout stages of the Champions League, out of the road for Wembley by PSG. This year, already, we expected that the Basques were able to finish among the first eight of the league phase, but the disappointments were linked and they had to get rid of the Danes of the Midtjylland in the barrage, which was brilliantly made with two successes at the first leg 1-2, and on return home 5-2. The calendar is not Clement for the men of Alguacil, who have as a reminder, played against Real Madrid in the semi-final first leg of the King's King Cup 0-1, and chained by a heavy liga defeat against FC Barcelona on the 4-0 road. By adding the draw at home last week with United 1-1, the Sociedad has therefore no longer won for three games in a row in all competitions. Pending now for its result against Sevilla FC last weekend in Liga to follow.

Olympiakos must try it all for all during this 1/8th final return of the Europa League to make a comeback against the Norwegian Bodo/Glimt club. Defeated 3 goals at 0 on the outward journey following a CSC of Tzolakis and a double of its Danish striker Hogh, the Greek club must no longer calculate and mark as quickly as possible to the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium to doubt this Norwegian training whose championship has been finished since December 1. The leader of the Greek championship has just won ahead of the OFS Crete 1-0 this Sunday and continues a 3rd success immediately at Piraeus after performances against PAOK 2-1 and the AEK 6-0 in the Cup. Bodo/Glimt's error would be to believe to be qualified before even competing for this 1/8th in return.

Before this success against the Greek club, Bodo/Glimt had lost against Aalborg 3-5 in friendly and Twente 2-1 before taking revenge on the Dutch club 5-2 AP on February 20. Norway champion on December 1, Bodo/Glimt has been stopped in the championship for three months and has only this Europa League as an official competition at the moment.

On the outward journey, the central holder Propper came out on injury in the first act and remains strongly uncertain for this 2nd round. Unwritten to participate in the competition, Cortes and Rafael Fernandes (loaned by Lille) are added to the absent players with the defender injured very long, Kasanwirjo. Loaned by Wolfsburg for the season, the Czech Cerny did not laugh to go by slamming a double and bringing its total to 6 achievements in this Europa League (+2 assists). The Nigerian striker DESSERS (11 goals, 2 assists in the championship) also participated in the party in Türkiye (3 goals, 4 passes in C3). Author of 4 pawns in C3, the Moroccan Hamza Igamane (9 championship achievements), is the 3rd spearhead of this Scottish training. Like Propper, Söyuncu (ex-Central of Leicester and Atlético de Madrid) was forced to quickly go out on the go. It is not certain for this trip to Scotland and probably replaced by the old Strasbourg Djiku.

Recall that Diego Carlos is injured, he who could fully claim a holder spot in the central hinge. Also injury for the Batave Oosterwolde, the Brazilian Beca, and Yuksek. Aydin, Aziz, Kapacak, Mimovic, and Mercan are unqualified for this competition while the fields of land Fred and Osayi-Samuel will be back from suspension. The offensive doublet should be composed by the two Dzeko scorers (12 goals in the league + 3 goals in C3) and Youssef En-Nesyri (16 goals in the league + 6 pawns in C3). Tadic will probably be aligned as a conductor while Allan Saint-Maximin finally replayed football during the first leg. Talisca (ex-al-Nassr) mainly leaves the bench.

Tottenham is badly gone in this double confrontation by being carried out a goal following his defeat in the Netherlands a week ago. A widely deserved defeat when we look at the statistics of the meeting where the Spurs have only framed 0.44xg. Clearly, the Londoners were unable to make a Liverpool against PSG. This also demonstrates all the evil that this training occupies which occupies only the 13th row of the Premier League and which remained on a loss at home in the league against the very sick team of Man City 0-1 . Receiving Bournemouth last weekend, Tottenham will have tried to revive and fill up on confidence to follow.

 Opposite, Alkmaar therefore did the job by winning in the first leg but did not know how to materialize all its dangerous actions, and ultimately, only one goal in advance of this double-opposition, it is not enough to defend this result. Once again, the English should be bonked in this part, but on the move, during the league phase, Alkmaar was not able to show the muscles by losing in particular in Tottenham 1-0, and in the Ferencvaros 4-2 , or even a parity score with ludogorets in Bulgaria 2-2. Before the opposition of the first leg, Az lost in the championship on the lawn of Heerenveen 3-1. In addition, no championship between the two European Cup games, and therefore, more rest for the Dutch.
