Barcelona vs Frankfurt
Barca was not at their best in Frankfurt. They lost the ball in dangerous places and struggled against an organized and intense defense. Although they did improve in the second period and could have won this game late, Xavi Hernandez’s men remain in good shape to qualify.
Xavi requested a Camp Nou atmosphere that was a “pressure cooker”, and Barca fans need to push the team. European nights at Camp Nou are always memorable, and even though it’s not a Champions League night, it is still under the bright light with a European semi-final spot available. This is a huge game, Barca has the best chance of winning a title. They must perform well and win over their fans.
Barca is now well-versed in the threat of Frankfurt. Camp Nou’s performance in big games this season has been remarkable. The team will perform better and the atmosphere will be a major factor. We’re moving forward: 3-1 to the great guys.

Lyon vs West Ham United
They could also have the advantage of having a home advantage. Lyon has lost just three games at the Groupama Stadium this season in all competitions.
They will be supported by a passionate and vocal crowd on Thursday. While West Ham may not be the team to struggle in such an environment they are sure to have a lot of home support in big matches like these.
Even though Lyon is inconsistent in Ligue 1 they have a great record in Europe. Peter Bosz’s team accumulated 16 points out of a possible 18, before beating Porto, which is poised to win the Premier Liga title. Lyon has performed admirably in this competition, even if they were not in their domestic league.
Lyon will need to be more precise in the penalty area than at the London Stadium. However, scoring goals has not been an issue this season. Bosz will be happy that his team was able to create at least several chances last time out. It should be a tight match, but Lyon wins.

Rangers vs Braga
The rangers are under immense pressure ahead of this match, as they have only two silverware options, the Scottish Cup or the Europa League. Van Bronckhorst is expected to deliver something for the fans this season.
Rangers lost to Celtic at Ibrox 2-1 just over a week back in a game that they were outplayed in at their home. They may face Celtic again at Hampden Park this Sunday in the Scottish Cup semifinal.
The Europa League is now closed. While even the most passionate Rangers fan may feel that winning the competition would be too much for them, considering the remaining players in the tournament they have left, Braga is expected to win this round and that will provide some value for the dog.
Braga is enjoying their best season thus far. With the pressure, the Rangers are currently under, and the fact that Rangers have advanced to the next round only five times in their 26 UEFA ties, where they lost a first-leg road game, it makes sense that all the value will be with the Portuguese side.
Braga +0.5 is a good option to prevent defeat against the Rangers in Thursday’s Europa League match.
