Eintracht Frankfurt have gone deep in the Europa League recently, with the German Bundesliga side having reached the semi-final stage of the competition three seasons ago before they ended up losing to eventual winners Chelsea. Now they have gone one better after toppling West Ham over two legs.
It’s now the case that Oliver Glasner’s side are odds-on favourites to be Europa League champions although you can get football betting odds much bigger that they win the clash in ninety minutes and they did beat West Ham home and away to reach the big stage.
However, the plain fact remains that Eintracht Frankfurt sit twelfth in the German Bundesliga standings and they have won just ten of their thirty-three games played domestically. This will give Rangers hope that they can beat another German side after getting the better of Leipzig over two legs.
Are Glasgow Rangers the Value Bet in the Final?
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has failed to follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard in terms of winning a Scottish Premiership title, although the Dutchman has helped Rangers navigate through the Europa League group stage and then knockout phase where teams such as Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig have been beaten along the way.
Indeed, the Gers have overcome two German sides and potentially have the blueprint when it comes to this one-off game, with the spirit in the camp helping the Scottish side to come from behind after losing 1-0 at the Red Bull Arena before claiming a 3-1 victory at Ibrox.
You can get betting odds bigger than 2/1 that Rangers win the match in normal time and there will be plenty of confidence in the ranks, with James Tavernier producing some standout performances in the full-back positions and he has an incredible seventeen goals to his name.
