TEAMS QUALIFIED:
Lyon, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham, Rangers, Eintracht Frankfurt, Olympiakos, Galatasaray, Lazio, Real Betis.

WHO CAN STILL QUALIFY:
PSV Eindhoven, Real Sociedad, Leicester City, Spartak Moscow, Napoli, Legia Warsaw Red Star Belgrade, Braga, Midtjylland, Dinamo Zagreb, Genk
GROUP A
Rangers FC made the last 16 by beating Sparta Prague 2-0, which ensured they finished second behind Lyon and qualified for the knockout round playoffs. This, therefore, make this matchday a mere formality as both Lyon and Rangers have already advanced.
GROUP B
Monaco is already through to the next but still needs to avoid defeat if they want the top spot. While the second qualifying spot is open to PSV and Sociedad, and since they are coming up against each other, all PSV need to do is to avoid defeat and if they need the top spot for themselves, then go for the win and expect Manaco to drop points.
GROUP C
Under this group, All four teams in the group can still make it to the next round.
Leicester currently occupies the top position, thanks to their 3-1 win over Legia Warsaw in the last matchday, but still need to afford a defeat in their final game to advance and must win if they want the top spot. On the other hand, every other team needs to win in other to advance. Thereby making this game week interesting.
GROUP D
This group has already been settled in the last round of matches as Frankfurt and Olympiacos is through to the next round. However, the fight for the top spot is still very much open. Frankfurt needs to avoid defeat to be the guaranteed winners while Olympiacos needs a win and expect Frankfurt to drop maximum points.
GROUP E
Galatasaray and Lazio are already guaranteed a spot in the knockout stages. However, the fight for the top spot is still very much open. Since they come against each other, all Galatasaray need to do is to avoid defeat and they claim winners of the group while Lazio needs a win to be the group winners.
GROUP F
This group is still very much open for Crvena Zvezda, Braga and Midtjylland as only two points separates them. Since Crvena is against Braga, they need to avoid defeat to qualify as the group winners while the rest needs to win.
GROUP G
Bayer Leverkusen win against Celtic last time round means, Bayer who is guaranteed top spot, and Betis advances to the next round, while Celtic will be dropping down to the lower rank in the Conference League.
GROUP H
West Ham's win at Rapid Vienna means they are guaranteed the top spot and qualification into the next round with a game to spare. However, the second spot is all to fight for between Zagreb and Genk as they are separated by just two points. All Zagreb need to do is to avoid defeat.
