As ever, the Europa League will be eclipsed by the Champions League this Friday as both tournaments make their quarterfinal draws. However, UEFA’s secondary club competition could certainly throw up some tasty matchups too, and it’s certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Italy's representatives come courtesy of Napoli and Fiorentina, who must now be considered among the serious favourites to win the thing. However, if they're to do so, they may well have to overcome Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg and last year's champions Sevilla.
Other teams in the hat are Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and Dynamo Kyiv, both from Ukraine; Germany's lone representative, VfL Wolfsburg; and Belgium's Club Brugge, who upset the odds to eliminate Turkish side Beşiktaş in the last round. There are certainly many capable teams in this tournament, and it may not be quite as boring as you'd think.
