IT'S the dreaded Europa League but with the competition now at the knockout stag the 2nd-leg ties tonight should be open affairs with plenty of goals. I've picked out a goals double and will do some small stake early goals fivefolds across the two kick-off times.

Arsenal vs BATE Borisov (5.55pm)

The Gunners were humiliated in Belarus last week as they went down to a shock 1-0 defeat. It was embarrassing stuff from them given the huge gulf in resources but there is a case to be made that Arsenal's fast-flowing football was unable to materialise due to state of the BATE pitch.

It's back to the bowling green of the Emirates where we should expect Arsenal to make light work of the Belarussian minnows. Arsenal need to overcome a one-goal deficit and should manage that without too much fuss with the 2nd half likely to yield the most goals.

These two met 14 months ago in the group stages with the Gunners dishing out a 6-0 hammering, won't be that tonight but would still expect 3 goals in the game.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Shakhtar Donetsk (8pm)

These two fought out a entertaining 2-2 in Ukraine last week and with both sides only knowing how to play offensive football, I'd be really surprised if we didn't see at least another three goals tonight.

The Germans are machines at home in Europe having lost just one of their last 20 matches in the Europa League and with 8 of their last 9 going over 2.5 goals it bodes well against a Shakhtar side who have lost only one of their last 20 matches in the Europa league and away from home they have won 8 of their last 9.

They've scored in 11 consecutive away games in this competition (15 of last 16) and they need an away goal to keep this tie alive.

Should be another entertaining game.
