Shakhtar Donetsk vs Sporting Braga
The hosts will be coming into this match having conceded a late equalizer against Stal Dniprodzerzhynsk in domestic action over the weekend. Whilst this has not affected the Miners' second-placed standing in the Ukrainian Premier League, it marked the second consecutive match that Mircea Lucescu's men gave up a goal in the latter stages of a match and the Romanian tactician will be hoping not to see the same thing happen again this Thursday.
Against Portuguese outfit Sporting Braga, Shakhtar thought that they had sealed a win, until their opponents clawed a goal back a minute before regulation time ended. Although Lucescu's side do have two vital away goals in hand, Sporting Braga will arrive in Ukraine determined to overturn this deficit whilst overcoming their own frustrating spell on the road. The hosts will be missing Yaroslav Rakitskiy and Fred due to suspension and both Marcio Azevedo as well as Vyacheslav Shevchuk as a result of injury.
The Portuguese side, who are facing Shakhtar for the fourth time - and have lost the first three - have failed to score in three out of their last four European road fixtures. Paulo Fonseca, will, however, have some selection concerns in attack, with Crislan, Rui Fonte, Alan, and Josue all either definite absences or in serious doubt due to varying injuries.

Sparta Praha vs Villarreal
Having grabbed a vital away goal in the first leg, Sparta Praha will be hoping to make this count as they seek to earn their spot in the Europa League semi-finals. Thursday's hosts are at this juncture in a European competition for the first time since the 1992/1993 season, and have not won a quarter-finals tie since 20 years prior to that.
However, they will be taking on the team which is now the highest scoring side in the Europa League. To date, Villarreal has netted a total of 78 goals and the Yellow Submarine do boast promising striker Cédric Bakambu in their ranks, who has netted nine goals in his past nine games across all competitions.
Sparta have been hit by a massive injury crisis, but have a solid home record, with 15 wins and two draws in their past 17 home games whilst Villarreal have won just one of their last nine matches on the road. The visitors last featured in the quarter-finals in the 2010/2011 season, where they went on to the semi-finals. Which side, then will book their spot in the final four?
