Omonia Nicosia v Granada

Europa League debutants Granada have taken four points from two games in Group E and can take another step forward by defeating Omonia Nicosia in the Cypriot capital.

A lack of European experience has not concerned Granada, who won 3-1 away Malmo in the playoff round and triumphed 2-1 away to PSV Eindhoven on matchday one.

Diego Martinez's side are sixth in La Liga, having taken 17 points from seven games, and should have too much quality for Omonia, who are bottom of the group after a 1-1 draw away to PAOK and a 2-1 loss at home to PSV.

Slavia Prague v Nice

The suspension of domestic Czech football – ongoing since early October – is making life difficult for Slavia Prague, who look worth opposing in their matchday three contest at home to Nice.

Slavia overcame their difficulties to post a shock 1-0 success at home to Leverkusen last Thursday, although their task was made much easier by a 22nd minute red card for visiting attacker Karim Bellarabi.

The Czech champions lost 3-1 away to Hapoel Beer Sheva on matchday one and may struggle to cope with Nice, who climbed to fourth in Ligue 1 after Sunday's 3-0 success at Angers.

Antwerp v LASK

Antwerp looked a good side during their 1-0 success at home to Tottenham last Thursday and can make it three wins from three in Group J by defeating Austrians LASK.

The confident Belgians have won their last three home games and can expose LASK, who looked defensively vulnerable throughout their 3-0 loss away to Tottenham and towards the end of last Thursday's 4-3 success at home to Ludogorets Razgrad.
