The four Europa League return fixtures that decide who reaches the semi-finals. Porto, Nottingham Forest, Bologna, Aston Villa, Braga, Real Betis, Freiburg and Celta Vigo all battle to reach the last four across two nights.
Second Leg Fixtures — April 16-17
Porto host the second leg at Estádio do Dragão. Forest stunned in the first leg — can Nuno Espírito Santo's side hold on and reach the semis for the first time in the club's Europa League history?
Bologna host the second leg at their compact Dall'Ara stadium. Aston Villa under Unai Emery will look to use their experience in knockout football to reach the semi-finals. A chance for Villa to reach a European semi-final for the first time in 42 years.
Braga host at their famous quarry-side stadium — one of European football's most atmospheric venues. Real Betis, Europa League specialists, will look to overturn any deficit against the Portuguese hosts.
Freiburg return home for the second leg. The German side have been outstanding in European competition this season and the home crowd at Europa-Park Stadion will be a vital factor. Celta need a away goal or better to progress.
