RB Leipzig Vs Rangers Football Prediction Europa League Thursday

Lyrics

"With Rangers appearing to be on the verge of handing Celtic the Scottish Premiership, there is a case to be made that Giovanni van Bronckhorst has yet to totally convince since taking over from Steven Gerrard in November.

However, with Rangers having advanced to this round of the Europa League and a Scottish Cup final on the horizon, any criticism of the Dutchman is without merit, and the Rangers manager will be confident that his players can repeat their heroics from earlier in the competition.

Although the victory over Borussia Dortmund set the tone, the manner in which they defeated Red Star Belgrade and Braga has also been outstanding, even if the Glasgow giants waited longer than necessary to upset the Portuguese club in the quarter-finals second leg.

Rangers, on the other hand, come into this game on a four-match winning streak, which includes a victory over Celtic in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

With Aaron Ramsey and Kemar Roofe joining an ever-growing injury list, Van Bronckhorst may have to rely on enthusiasm rather than quality to stay in this tie going into the second leg.

Rangers can take heart from Leipzig's setback at home to Union Berlin on Saturday, but it was their first loss in 15 games in all competitions.

Leipzig's fortunes have changed dramatically since Domenico Tedesco took over in December, with 16 victories and only three defeats in 24 games, and they will be confident of finishing the season with two pieces of silverware - the Europa League and the German Cup.

With immense quality on both ends of the field, Leipzig have come through meetings against Real Sociedad and Atalanta impressively since exiting the Champions League in the group stages.

Rangers' task was already a difficult one before they suffered more injuries to key players. With that in mind, it is difficult to see how the Scottish champions will stay competitive all through Thursday’s encounter.

Giving themselves a chance of turning things around at Ibrox in the second leg may just be the best that they can hope for against a talented Leipzig side.

Bet on Leipzig to win and for the game to end with over 1.5 goals. That should be an impressive 1.53 odds.
