Headline: Man United’s defensive folly could come back to haunt
Two own goals at home in last week’s first leg could come back to haunt Manchester United tonight as they return to Spain again in the Europa League, this time to face Sevilla. More details at www.soccer6.co.za
M1 AZ Alkmaar vs Anderlecht: AZ must prolong their perfect home record in European competition this season to eight matches if they are to stand a chance of coming back from a 2-0 first-leg defeat in this Europa Conference League quarter-final.
M2 Fiorentina vs Lech Poznan: Free-scoring Fiorentina are targeting a 10th successive win in the Europa Conference League as they host the Polish champions in the second leg of the quarter-final boasting a handsome 4-1 lead.
M3 Sivasspor vs Trabzonspor: Trabzonspor are unbeaten in seven past clashes with Sivasspor, winning four of them.
M4 Nice vs FC Basel: Flying the French flag alone in Europe, Nice have their sights set on a first major European semi-final as they host Basel hoping to make the most of home advantage following a first-leg 2-2 draw in Switzerland.
M5 Roma vs Feyenoord: The two finalists of last season's inaugural Europa Conference League take the field for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final with Feyenoord 1-0 up on hosts Roma following the first leg in Rotterdam.
M6 Sevilla vs Manchester United: Sevilla will be buoyed by an unlikely late comeback from two goals down at Old Trafford in last week’s first leg, which ended 2-2.
M7 Sporting Lisbon vs Juventus: After a closely contested first leg in Turin, which Juventus won 1-0, Sporting will be hoping to turn this Europa League quarter-final around in Lisbon. Both clubs began their 2022/23 European campaign in the Champions League group stage.
M8 Union Saint-Gilloise vs Bayer Leverkusen: UEFA competition debutants Union are well placed to eliminate German opposition in successive rounds of the competition and become Belgium's first Europa League semi-finalists with their quarter-final tie level at 1-1.
M9 West Ham United vs Gent: West Ham are bidding to reach a second European semi-final in successive seasons as they host Gent, who have never reached the last four of a major UEFA competition, in the second leg of a Europa Conference League quarter-final that is evenly poised at 1-1.
M10 Ceramica Cleopatra vs Al Ittihad: Ceramica have drawn their previous four fixtures. Al Ittihad have lost three of their past four Egyptian league games but are still in the top five.
