The European season is in its most intriguing phase, with all the major continental competitions are entering quarter-finals.
The Champions League steals most headlines, but the Europa League still has some big clubs, including Premier League duo Man United and Tottenham Hotspur.
However, the English clubs are not the main frontrunners for the trophy, according to Opta Analyst and their supercomputer.
As per the algorithm, the likeliest Europa League winners this season are Athletic Bilbao (22.4%) and Lazio (21.5%).
They are followed by Spurs (18.4%) and only after that Man United (just 13.3%).
The least likely Europa League winners are Rangers. The Scottish giants' chances to lift the trophy are rated at just 2.2%.

Super computer doesn't know how to rate team basing on team's form. If united can beat City, draw Chelsea, arsenal and Liverpool, then among bilbao,lazio and Tottenham United can pull a masterclass show. Let's first deal with lyon and the rest will come....
