The second-leg matches of the Europa League last-32 ties take place on Thursday night, with some massive games to look forward to.
One of the most fascinating games takes place at Ibrox, where Rangers hold a surprise 4-2 lead over Borussia Dortmund following the first leg in Germany.
Gers Look To See Off Dangerous Dortmund
Rangers produced the shock of the week last Thursday, when they overturned their Bundesliga opponents at the Westfalenstadion in impressive fashion.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s men were 3-0 up in the early stages of the second half, but Marco Rose’s men managed to cut the deficit and give themselves hope of completing a turnaround in Glasgow (20:00).
Rangers are 10/3 to win the home leg and, in the process reach the last 16, while Dortmund can be backed at 20/27 and the draw is available at 3/1.
Dortmund followed up last Thursday’s defeat with a 6-0 thumping of Borussia Monchengladbach and they are likely to start quickly at Ibrox.
One major plus for Rangers though is the absence of Erling Haaland, who has not travelled to Scotland due to continuing injury problems.
The Scottish Premiership champions have scored 15 goals in their last five games in all competitions, while Dortmund have found the net 16 times in their last five matches.
Those stats point to a goal-fest with over 3.5 goals is available at 23/20, while Dortmund to score first can be backed at 5/8.
Barca Can Keep Europa Dream Alive
There is no doubting the tie of the round, with Napoli going head-to-head with Barcelona and the pair meet in Naples (20:00) with the scores level at 1-1.
Many thought Xavi’s men had blown their chance of progressing after being held to a draw at the Nou Camp, but Barca’s away form would suggest otherwise.
The Catalan giants have only lost one of their last nine games on the road and that was in extra-time, going down 3-2 to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey.
Fresh from a 1-4 win at Valencia at the weekend, Barca will have renewed confidence and can be backed at 31/20 to collect the victory. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat-trick at the Mestalla and is 6/4 to score anytime on Thursday.
Napoli normally pose a big threat at the Stadio San Paolo, but Luciano Spalletti’s side have won just three of their last eight at home matches.
Leipzig Can Fight Their Way Past Sociedad
Another tie finally poised is the clash between Real Sociedad and RB Leipzig, with the pair level at 2-2 ahead of Thursday’s second leg in Spain (17:45).
Sociedad were twice ahead in Germany, but Leipzig’s comeback could prove crucial with the Bundesliga side in the goals of late.
A 1-6 win at Hertha Berlin at the weekend made it 17 goals in their last six away games, while they also scored 10 goals in their three Champions League away games.
In contrast, the La Liga outfit lost 4-0 at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday and have failed to score in two of their last three matches at the Anoeta.
The visitors are available at 31/20 to collect the win on Thursday, with Sociedad available at 9/5 and the draw can be backed at 47/20.
