A win would guarantee their advancement in the competition with just one game remaining as Slovan Bratislava’s result against Besiktas will then be irrelevant if Wolves can clinch the three points.
Nuno Santo faces tough decisions over team selection as they still have the small matter of the Premier League to cope with too as they face Sheffield United on Sunday, who sit just one place behind them in the table.
On the Chalkboard
The Portuguese boss should rotate his side a little. He has enough depth in some areas to do so.
Diogo Jota has struggled since his return from injury, going on a barren run of six games without a goal or assist, meaning he should quite rightly be dropped for being so out of form.
Any other player would have been by now, but Nuno clearly favours him over most as seen last season when he formed a lethal partnership with Raul Jimenez, playing 33 top-flight games with the pair contributing to 34 goals between them.
However, it now seems as if Adama Traore is filling that role this term after the winger’s sixth assist of the season handed the Mexican striker his 14th goal in all competitions.
The 45-year-old should be bold in his team selection while also sending a warning signal to his fellow countryman by introducing Patrick Cutrone in his place this evening.
He proved during the international break that he can indeed play the role of the left-sided forward. Cutrone scored twice, recorded one key pass and won six ground duels in Italy U21’s win over Iceland as mentioned here.

The Italian striker hasn’t got into gear at Molineux just yet but then again, he’s been restricted to a glut of appearances from the bench since joining in the summer.
He has enough experience in the Europa League – scoring ten goals in 18 matches for AC Milan – to warrant an opportunity to start and in addition to that, Cutrone has scored two and assisted one from six games as a left-winger.
