Match Day 4 will commence the return legs starting with the reverse fixtures from Match Day 3. In group H action, AC Milan travels to Bate Borisov knowing that a win will clinch their spot in the round of 16. The same can be said for FC Barcelona who travels to Plzen. In group E, Valencia, endangered of elimination, will host a very dangerous and unpredictable Bayer Leverkusen. The other match-up features Chelsea who can clinch qualification with a victory against Genk. Group F fixtures include Borussia Dortmund who will be aiming for the 3 points against Olympiacos in order to survive. In group A, Villareal finds itself in a must-win situation in a game in which they will face Manchester City. The game of the day features SSC Napoli taking on FC Bayern Munich in Germany. This will be a tough match for the Partenopei as in the last encounter, Bayern Munich proved to be a very tough for Napoli. The Napolitani are also currently in a poor run of form.
