TEAM 1 | TEAM 2 | COMMENTS |
Lokomotiv Zagreb | Vorskla Poltava | Lokomotiv has the advantage |
Saint Etienne | AEK | I wouldn't count the Greeks out yet |
AEK Larnaca | Spartak Moskva | The Russians should not have any problems |

Torpedo-Belaz Zhodino | Rapid Wien | And with the Austrians on this one |
Admira Wacker | Slovan Liberec | But with the Czecs on this one |
