Chelsea and Benfica will be expected to progress and meet in the ultimate in Amsterdam in May possibly, although it won't be plain sailing for either group, with their respective opponents both impressing in their semi-final matches. Chelsea -- who made life problematic for themselves against Rubin Kazan in the quarter-finals -- will happen to be Switzerland in the first leg, facing a Basel team which impressed in beating Tottenham -- and who probably should have seen them off without having to experience the stress of charges. Meanwhile FenerbahAe were usually fairly comfortable against Italian part Lazio, sooner or later seeing them off 3-1 on aggregate within an remarkable defensive reunite knee performance at the Olimpico. They too will give you stubborn resistance for a Benfica staff who saw off Newcastle in the groups. The Portuguese team can happen to be Istanbul for the first leg.
