Europa League predictions: Last 16

With the Champions League quarter-final lineup set, attention now switches to the second leg ties of the Europa League last 16.

There's some heavyweight names contesting European football's second tier competition, none bigger than Barcelona - who head to Turkey to take on Galatasaray after failing to break the deadlock at Camp Nou during their first meeting.

Elsewhere, West Ham are hoping to overturn a first leg deficit against Sevilla, while Rangers head to Belgrade to take on Red Star with a healthy 3-0 advantage safely tucked under their belt.

Here's 90min's predictions for who will join RB Leipzig in the last eight.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Atalanta

If you're looking for a cracking early evening watch filled with goals, look no further than Bayer Leverkusen's clash with Atalanta.

The Italians emerged victorious from their first leg encounter 3-2, with Gian Piero Gasperini's exciting brand of football again coming out on top against good opposition. In Patrik Schick, Bayer have one of Europe's most in-form strikers, and he'll fancy his chances of overturning the deficit.

Ultimately, he may come up short, but it'll be fun to watch whatever happens.

Prediction: 2-2 (4-5 Agg)

Galatasaray vs Barcelona

Barcelona weren't able to take a first leg advantage to Turkey with them, but Xavi will be confident that his rejuvenated side have what it takes to book a quarter-final spot.

If Barca don't get the job done, expect pandemonium and (probably) questions about the Spaniard's long-term future in the role. Luckily, with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres leading the line, he shouldn't need to worry.

Prediction: 0-2 (0-2 Agg)

Red Star vs Rangers

Rangers have a 3-0 advantage to take with them to Belgrade but make no mistake about it, they will not underestimate what Red Star are capable of in front of their own fans.

They are in terrific form domestically and the Scottish Premiership champions will be prepared for a raucous and intimidating atmosphere. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side are playing well, though, and have enough about them to manage the tie effectively.

Prediction: 1-1 (1-4 Agg)

Monaco vs Braga

Surprised Monaco are heading into the second leg of their tie with Braga 2-0 behind? You shouldn't be.

They haven't been great in Ligue 1 this season, sitting a lowly eighth, while Braga are continuing to show they are the 'best of the rest' in Portugal behind big boys Benfica, Sporting CP and Porto.

Monaco may get the job done on the night, but it's unlikely to be enough to overturn the two-goal advantage Braga have.

Prediction: 2-1 (2-3 Agg)

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Real Betis

Another game that could produce plenty of goals involves Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Betis, now managed by Manuel Pellegrini.

The Spaniards surprisingly slipped to defeat in their first leg clash last week, but they're riding high in La Liga and will fancy their chances of overcoming a mid-table Frankfurt side who have a tendency to leak goals.

Will this be the game where the away side gets the job done? We reckon so.

Prediction: 1-3 (3-4 Agg)

West Ham vs Sevilla

West Ham's European adventure has been a thrill for supporters used to seeing the club struggling in the bottom half of the Premier League.

Not only has David Moyes turned the Hammers into top six contenders, he's made them a side capable of overturning the 1-0 defeat to Sevilla last week. The visitors are missing a few key players and the London Stadium will be bouncing with 60,000 fans crammed in - surely it's written in the stars?

Sevilla's experience in this competition, and stature as six-time winners, may have something to say about that, with a closely contested draw potentially squeaking them through.

Prediction: 1-1 (1-2 Agg)

Lyon vs Porto

Champions League mainstays Porto can count themselves a little unfortunate to be coming against Lyon in the last 16, but they did themselves no favours by losing the home leg of their tie 1-0.

That means Sergio Conceicao's side must look to be on the front foot against a Lyon team who are used to being in the latter stages of European competition. The Ligue 1 side haven't been great domestically - in fact they sit a lowly 10th - but they seem to come alive when on the continental stage.

A place in the quarter-finals looks to be calling the name of head coach Peter Bosz.

Prediction: 2-1 (3-1 Agg)
