Four LaLiga sides out to seal Europa League quarter-final spot

Bayer Leverkusen - Villarreal FC

The 2-0 advantage gained in the first leg will give Marcelino's men plenty of confidence going into this one. The Villarreal players will check in at the BayArena in high spirits, yet knowing that a performance is still required to see the job through. The Yellow Submarine are the closest of the Spanish sides to sealing their passage into the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals and Marcelino's young talented squad will be out to give 'Chicharito', Bernd Leno, Christoph Kramer, Stefan Kiessling and company a hard time as they bid to continue flying the flag for the Liga BBVA in Europe.

Valencia CF - Athletic Club

Gary Neville's side will be looking to toast the Fallas - a traditional celebration held in the city to commemorate Saint Joseph -by securing their place in the quarter-final draw. Ahead of the second-leg clash between Ches and Rojiblancos, the phrase which best sums up the tie would be: only one of the two sides can go through. After a hard-fought 1-0 first-leg win for Athletic in the pouring rain, now comes the decider between two ambitious sides who'll be looking to their forwards, Aritz Aduriz and Alvaro Negredo, as both teams go in search of goals.

Sevilla FC - FC Basel

The 0-0 stalemate in the first legleaves things finely balanced ahead of the Sanchez-Pizjuan showdown. The reigning holders will take nothing less than a win and they hope to give their fans a night to remember by clinching a quarter-finals spot and moving a step closer to winning the competition for the third successive year. Unai Emery will be unable to call on the injured Yevhen Konolyanka and Steven N'Zonzi, who misses out through suspension.
