The Europa League group stages come to an end today with plenty still to play for across most pools.

After five games some sides are already home and dry, but other issues remain unresolved elsewhere, most notably in Group A.

Valencia are through as group winners, but behind them Swansea and Kuban Krasnodar are thrashing it out for second.

The Swans are the current incumbents and if they go to St Gallen and match Kuban’s result in Spain, they will progress. If they lose, a win and three-goal swing will send the Russians onwards.

Second spot is the outstanding issue in Group B too.

Ludogorets top the table but their fellow qualifiers will come from the clash between PSV and Chornomorets. The two have seven points each with the Ukraine team ahead on goal difference.

In Group D, new Wigan manager Uwe Rosler will be looking to make an early impression as the Latics look to upset the odds and go through.

Wigan are in Maribor for their final clash and if they win and already-qualified Rubin Kazan beat Zulte in Belgium, they will progress.

Eintracht Frankfurt are through in Group F thanks to a win over Bordeaux last time out, and if they beat Apoel Nicosia today, that will send Maccabi Tel Aviv into the next round.

Maccabi have eight points and a better goal difference, so should be fine. They have a domestic derby to take care of at the weekend, but know they must still concentrate on Bordeaux today.

Genk have taken top billing in Group G and will be joined by either Dynamo Kiev or Rapid Vienna who meet in Ukraine, with Kiev needing a point to move on, while Group H throws up plenty of challenges.

Sevilla are top at the moment and they head to Freiburg who are three points and four goals worse off.

Sevilla are guaranteed a top-two finish, but Freiburg know a win will take them through, while the German side can also finish top with a victory by a three-goal margin.
