Sights set on knockout stages

Soldo setback
SL Benfica have already secured their place in the top three, leaving two from three to join the section leaders in the last 32. Second-placed Stuttgart are at home to Dinamo, but must make do without Zvonimir Soldo as their captain is still suffering from a thigh injury.

Victory required
Aliaksandr Hleb, Fernando Meira and Imre Szabics should all play and coach Matthias Sammer is optimistic, saying: "We want to win our group and so we need to beat Dinamo. We know what to expect and I am sure that my players will turn out a good display and get the result we all want."

'Team play'
The Croatian side have four points, two fewer than Stuttgart, and are without two key midfield players, captain Niko Kranjcar and Jasmin Agic, through injury and suspension respectively. "Our answer to Stuttgart's quality should be real team play," said coach Ilija Loncarevic. "We need to play our game of the season and only then can we hope for something good."

'In our hands'
Heerenveen also have four points and visit KSK Beveren, who have lost all three games. Heerenveen coach Gertjan Verbeek welcomes back captain Arek Radomski and top scorer Klaas Jan Huntelaar after injury. With victory guaranteeing progress, he said: "Qualification is in our own hands."

Duo suspended
Suspension rules out Beveren goalkeeper Barry Boubacar and defender Emmanuel Eboué, although Marc Volders has recovered from a calf injury to take his place in goal. "Even if there was a lot at stake, it would be a very difficult match against Heerenveen," said coach Herman Helleputte.
