Several of the second legs happen tomorrow.
Maccabi Haifa (Israel) v. Red Bull Salzburg (Austria). The first result was 1-2 in Maccabi's favor in Salzburg.
Zurich (Switzerland) v. Ventspils (Latvia). Zurich won 0-3 in Latvia.
Debrecen (Hungary) v. Levski Sofia (Bulgaria). Debrecen won 1-2 in Sofia.
Anderlecht (Belgium) v. Lyon (France). Lyon thrashed Anderlecht 5-1 in Lyon.
Atletico Madrid (hmm, where are they from?) v. Panathinaikos (Greece). Atletico won 2-3 in Greece.
As for predictions: Well, the Lyon game is irrelevant. Anderlecht simply can't win by 4 goals, let alone win most likely. So Lyon are through.
Atletico have a definite edge of Panathinaikos. Atletico last year in La Liga (Spanish league) had an away goal differential of -1, and Panathinaikos had a home goal differential of 25 (33 scored, 8 conceded). Considering Atletico last year had a home record of 13 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses (goal differential: 24) and Panathinaikos' away record in domestic competition was 7 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses (goal differential: 8), Atletico will probably get the win. I predict Atletico win by 2.
No predictions for the other matches: data harder to get, and the clubs simply aren't as likely to go far in the tournament, so it simply isn't as important if Debrecen advances as opposed to Levski Sofia. Predictions coming tomorrow (if I can manage it) for the games on Wednesday and Thursday.
