The 2nd leg quarter-finals UEFA Europa League will be a crucial match for Valencia since they have to host Dutch Eredivisie club AZ Alkmaar at Mestalla Stadium on Thursday 5 April 2012 at 20:05 CET. The defeat 1-2 in the 1st leg is not a good result for El Che but they still have an advantage as they can made a goal on away match last week, and they just need a win 1-0 this time to go to the semi-finals round. Adil Rami is coming back for Valencia following one match suspension, while Ever Banega and Sergio Canales are sidelined.
AZ Alkmaar have a good season as they can go further to the quarter-finals in Europa League and they just one point behind the top Ajax Amsterdam in the Eredivisie competition. However, they have to keep their winning in order to take another long journey for this competition. But the striker Roy Beerens will not go to Mestalla since he has rib injury problem.
