It is pretty much the same. Last season it had Chelsea and this season we are in it. Napoli and Valencia played in it last season from CL,but this season we got Ajax from it as a bigger team.

 

[Don Juan Matus]

We got Club Brugge..

 

[André Dominguez]

Some decent games to watch:

Neverkusen - Porto, Shakthar - Benfica and Frankfurt - Salzburg are probably the toughest games. Not saying surprises are not going to happen in other matches. If Braga gets rid of their manager and hire a real manager, they can kick Rangers out of the cup.

Before tomorrow's fixtures, FiveThirtyEight have us as the second best team in the competition behind Getafe, but slight favourites to win it factoring in the difficulty of our last 32 tie: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/soccer-predictions/europa-league/

VAR will be used in this round, but should better than the English version
