GROUPS A-D: WEDNESDAY
Group A
Club Atlético de Madrid (9pts) v Olympiacos FC (6)
Malmö FF (3) v Juventus (6)

• Atlético will be through with a win, or a draw if Juventus lose.

• Olympiacos can only go through on matchday five if they win and Juventus draw.

• Juventus cannot be knocked out even with a loss while a point will ensure a top-three place.

• Malmö must avoid defeat at the very least to stay in contention. If they pick up fewer points than Olympiacos, Malmö will finish fourth.

Group B
FC Basel 1893 (6) v Real Madrid CF (12)
PFC Ludogorets Razgrad (3) v Liverpool FC (3)

• Madrid are through and will clinch first place as long as Basel do not win by a scoreline which gives them the head-to-head edge on the European champions.

• Basel will be through if they win and Liverpool do not win.

• Liverpool can ensure a top-three finish with victory, but even then they will definitely need three points against Basel on 9 December to have a chance of coming second.

• Ludogorets will be out of Europe with a loss, and cannot finish in the top two if they draw or Basel win.

Group C
FC Zenit (4) v SL Benfica (4)
Bayer 04 Leverkusen (9) v AS Monaco FC (5)

• Leverkusen will clinch the group with a win and will be through with a draw.

• Monaco cannot go through with a game to spare even if they win in Germany.

• Zenit will be out if they lose and Monaco win. Zenit won away to Benfica so another victory will ensure at least a top-three finish.

• Benfica will be out with a draw if Monaco win (because the best they could then hope for after matchday six is a three-way tie in which they could not possibly finish in the top two). Defeat eliminates Benfica from Europe if Monaco win.

Group D
Arsenal FC (7) v Borussia Dortmund (12)
RSC Anderlecht (2) v Galatasaray AŞ (1)

• Dortmund are through and will clinch the group with a point.

• Arsenal will be through with a draw, or if the other game is drawn.

• Anderlecht need to win both their remaining games and hope Arsenal do not pick up another point. However, a win ensures Anderlecht at least third place.

• Galatasray need to win, hope Arsenal lose, and then beat the Gunners on 9 December by a scoreline that gives them the head-to-head advantage on the London side.
