The two favourites for Europa glory have been handed very winnable football games in the last 32 after today’s draw.
An early Champions League exit has left Atletico Madrid as favourites on most betting websites and a tie with FC Copenhagen in the first knockout stage of the Europa League won’t change that. The Danish club don’t have to face the likes of Antoine Griezmann in its domestic league and the La Liga giants will be at very small betting odds to go through.
Then there’s the visit of Arsenal to look forward to for Swedish outfit Ostersunds, a reward for coming joint top of Group J. Ostersunds are managed by former West Brom star Graham Potter who has taken the minnows from the fourth tier to Sweden’s top division. Alexis Sanchez and co are taking on a team in confident mood but should prosper.
The tie of the round sees Champions League flops Borussia Dortmund, having just sacked their coach Peter Bosz, face Serie A side Atalanta,. Lyon, who will host this year’s final, have been paired with Villarreal after the Yellow Submarine topped Group A.
The other Italian teams have Central and Eastern European opposition as Napoli meet RB Leipzig while Lazio are paired with Steaua Bucharest. Meanwhile, seven-time Champions of Europe Milan must overcome Ludogrets.
They should all qualify but I bet you one thing, we’ll see plenty of gloves!
