Europa League 2013 Quarter-Finals, Preview: Tottenham and...

Newcastle and Tottenham will have to install comebacks in order to progress to the semi-finals, while Lazio and Rubin Kazan may also be following. Rubin's gameplan in Europe frequently relies on keeping things tight, however they were outclassed in enduring a defeat at Stamford Bridge. A 2-0 victory isn't beyond the SIberians, but they'll have to provide their A-game and come out and if they desire to progress enjoy. Chelsea have been contradictory and are susceptible to a stressful fixture-list, so there might be some hope for the hosts. Basel put themselves in a decent position with a 2-2 draw at White Hart Lane, so Tottenham will be needing to emerge and strike in Switzerland in order to advance. The two away targets will be a good pillow for the hosts, and with Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon missing from Tottenham's ranks, they may battle to discover the effect they need. A big possibility of an upset. Fenerbahce made the most of their home form to offer a fantastic 2-0 guide to themselves, therefore Lazio own it all to do at the Olimpico. An away target for the Turks might conceal the link once and for all, so this game will soon be balanced on a knife edge. Lazio truly have what it takes to progress, nevertheless the visitors are obvious favourites as it stands. Newcastle took the lead in Portugal but were soon on the end of an assault from Benfica which condemned them to defeat, while a lot could be still meant by a precious away goal. Their victory at the week-end over Fulham leaves them relatively secure in the Premier League, so this could be their primary target. It will desire a heroic performance, but at St. James' Park, they've more than a possibility.
