Villarreal will welcome Portuguese team Porto to the Estadio Do Dragao on Thursday May 5 for a Europa League meeting that could win either team progression to the Europa League final. The Porto team have an amazing lead from the first leg but Villarreal will be a different team when they play in Spain in front of their own fans. See what happens this week in the Europa League semi-final game.

Villarreal have a massive gap to close after losing the first leg by five goals to one thanks to a magnificent solo display from 25 year old Colombian striker Falcao who netted four times with three goals from open play. The Striker has now drawn level with Jurgen Klinsman’s record of fifteen goals in the Uefa Cup in one season but he is keen to make the record his own with more goals in the second leg. If Villarreal are to stand any chance of taking a point then they will have to man Mark Falcao which is easier said than done.

Villarreal have a poor record in their last five games with goals conceded with Valencia also putting five past them and Sevilla managing to score three. Both of those games and the Europa league thrashing took place away from home and Villarreal play a lot differently at home so it that may come as a shock to the Porto players. With a place in the final at stake this could be a memorable European footballing night

Sporting Braga will welcome fellow Portuguese outfit Benfica to the Estadio AXA on Thursday May 5 for a Europa League clash that could seal progression to the final for either side. The Sporting team have dropped 14 points behind Benfica in their domestic league but they are very capable of overturning the Benfica lead. See what happens in the Europa League semi-final gam.

Sporting Braga may be 14 points behind Benfica but they are still currently ranked third in the Primeira Liga table behind Benfica in second which may paint a better picture of how close this game could be. Sporting will need just one goal to progress at present as they managed to penetrate the Benfica defence when they played the first leg and now have an away goal to their credit thanks to veteran Portuguese midfielder Vanderson Valter De Almeida. Domingos Paciencia the Sporting manager will bank on Alan and Lima to lead the line and net the winning goal and then they will try and shut up shop

If Jorge Jesus can get a performance out of Saviola or Cardozo then Benfica may just prove too much for the home team and at the moment nobody would bet against Cardozo getting a goal especially if Carlos Martins is playing as the pair have linked up so well in recent games. With a possible final against the winners from the Porto and Villarreal game there is a lot to p[lay for and extra time is not an impossibility.
