The Europa League is restarting with the Round of 16 being played on Wednesday and Thursday. Here is the schedule for the four matches on Wednesday.
Istanbul Basaksehir at FC Copenhagen – 12:55 PM EST.
VfL Wolfsburg at Shakhtar Donetsk – 12:55 PM EST (UniMas).
Getafe at Inter Milan – 3 PM EST.
LASK at Manchester United – 3 PM EST (UniMas).
Due to the postponement of matches, Getafe and Inter were not able to play the first leg in the Round of 16. Whichever team wins this match advances to the Europa League quarterfinals. The first legs were played in the other three scheduled games. The team with the higher aggregate score from both legs will advance to the quarterfinals.
Istanbul Basaksehir won the first leg 1-0 at home against Copenhagen. Basaksehir will not have to deal with the cold weather in Denmark, so Copenhagen will not have as much of a home advantage.
Donetsk won the first leg 2-1 on the road against Wolfsburg. Those two away goals will be critical if the aggregate score ends in a draw because away goals are the first tiebreaker in that scenario. Wolfsburg will have to win by two goals in order to advance.
Both Getafe and Inter have outstanding defenses. Whichever team can hold up in the back four will win the match. Manchester United won the first leg 5-0 over LASK in Austria. LASK will have to win by six goals in order to advance.

i honestly have no idea on any of the teams so I guessed.
Copenhagen
Wolfsburg
Inter
Man U
There is a possibility of parking the bus on three of the games, but I do not think that there will be a draw today. I took the shortcut and went with advancing instead of adding the draw option on the polls.
understood, it is a grouping I know little about except for ManU. Although Copenhagen is my all time favorite city in Europe!
So far, you are 1-1 for today. Copenhagen showed up today. I really hope that Erdogan doesn’t do anything to the Basaksehir players because he played there before becoming Turkey’s President.
not bad 500 works for me
A couple of changes – all four matches can be seen online on CBS All Access. Also, the Inter Milan/Getafe match will be played at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, the home arena for Schalke.
Manchester United Will win. Getafe has a difficult opponent. Wolfsburg and Copenhagen will win too as they play at home.
Wolfsburg has to go to Ukraine though, but I think that you meant that the home teams would win the early games. The pressure will be on Basaksehir to win because that is the same club that Turkey President Erdogan played for. The Inter game will not be on TV in the USA, but the Shakhtar/Wolfsburg match on TV will make up for that. I want to see how many goals Manchester United will score.
I understood Wolfsburg was playing at home so I go for Shaktar that won the Europa League years ago. Was Erdogan a good footballer??
I checked again on Soccerway, the match is in Donetsk. I guess that Erdogan was pretty decent since he played back when Turkey was actually really good. He was playing against Galatasaray, Besiktas, and Fenerbache, so I would have to think that he was a decent player.
Erdogan played in the first division?? This is impressive. And now he is the president. So strange. Such a great life.
