Twente vs Steaua
Twente hold a one-goal win advantage as the host Steaua Bucuresti at their De Grolsch Veste. They head into this match on the back of their 4-1 victory over Vitesse last Sunday, which helped lifting them to fourth on domestic table. Twente are unbeaten at home in Europa League this term, with all three wins over Wisla Krakow, OB, and Fulham.
Steaua, meanwhile, are also sitting at fourth in their own domestic league. However, their away record in Europa League looks ugly. The last time they won on the road was on August 2009. Since then, the Romanian club recorded six away draws and five away losses, including the 5-0 drubbing at Maccabi Haifa, where they got two players sent off.
This is not group stage, so Steaua cant sit back and kill time to collect points. They have to step up and fight for their survival. And once they do that, they will be trapped on counters by Twente. Eredivisie teams usually beat their opponents with tons of goals especially when they are in confidence mood. Luuk de Jong has scored 18 goals in domestic league so far, thus, this guy can surely cause the damage for the visitors.

Man City - FC Porto
Second leg of European league brings us clash between one of the favorites for the title Manchester City and Porto. Man City is holding first place in Premiership after 25 rounds and this might be their first title since 1968. They won all 12 matches on the home ground and that ranks them the 1th team in home performance in the English Premier League. They were expected to progress far in CL but were eliminated by one point deference between Napoli in the group stage. Their intentions are clean and 1-2 away win in the first leg almost sealed they way trough. Porto played 8 games away in domestic league and has 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 lost match. Marc Janko and Lucho Gonzalez are unable to play for Porto. Kleber is a major doubt due to illness and Emidio Rafael is out with a long-term injury. Roberto Mancini has a fully fit and available squad to him. Im sure Porto will give its best to disrupt Mancini plans with incredible Hulk, and Man City powered by killer attack, there are goals to come.

David Gofin - Adrian Mannarino
I can't trust Adrian Mannarion here just because is playing at home and this surface is his favorite surface. He is on a bad moment and seems that will have to change many things in his attitude on court before making any winnings.
David Goffin won already 3 matches here all in straight sets losing his service only one time and should be the favorite here because despite all the players he has defeated in the qualifications are on paper weaker then Mannarino at this moment I bet all could make big problems for the French player.
The Belgian holds a strong service and a decent game on court and should cause big problems to Mannarino who is weaker then past seasons when had good runs on hard indoors.
Low confidence, not much interest in tennis are the biggest enemies for the French and I doubt he has washed them since last defeat.
