The UEFA Europa League quarterfinals wrap up on Thursday evening with second leg fixtures, though only one tie is still in the balance.<\/p>\n

The Iberian trio of Porto, Benfica and Villareal all look to have one foot already in the last four after comprehensive first leg victories over Spartak Moscow (5-1), PSV Eindhoven (4-1) and FC Twente (5-1) respectively.<\/p>\n

The trio are all away from home in the second legs, but it would take a spectacular collapse for any one of them not to progress into the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Portugal\u2019s Braga will hope to make it a hat-trick of teams from their country\u2019s league into the semis, as they host the Ukraine\u2019s Dynamo Kyiv at the Estadio Municipal de Braga.<\/p>\n

The tie is locked at 1-1, though Braga have the slight edge heading into the second leg thanks to their away goal.<\/p>\n

Former Portugal national team midfielder Hugo Viana explained that Braga were backing themselves to progress.<\/p>\n

“We are very confident ahead of the second game,” the 28-year-old said. “We will be at home, having scored an away goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Dynamo\u2019s Ognjen Vukojevic saw his side progress from a similar scenario against Spanish giants Valencia two years ago in the last 32 round and believes a repeat could be on the cards for the Ukrainians.<\/p>\n

“We only need to score once in Braga,” the 27-year-old Croatian international said.<\/p>\n

“Two years ago we played Valencia, who at that time were three times stronger than Braga today, and managed to score two away goals after a similar 1-1 draw in Ukraine. The chances are 50-50 and it will be all to play for … in Portugal.”<\/p>\n
