Scottish giants Rangers eliminated one German side in the Europa League semis to set up a final game with another, Eintracht Frankfurt, who dumped out Premier League side, West Ham United. This game will be staged in Seville, Spain. Frankfurt go into the game having finished 11th in the Bundesliga and this is their chance at European football next season. They are coming from two straight draws, and just a win in the last four matches. That win happened to be in the Europa League, against West Ham, and it is also their only clean sheet in the last five matches. Twice in the last four matches, Frankfurt have scored two goals but they’ve also conceded twice in two of their last four matches. In Europa League action, Frankfurt are unbeaten in their last 10 matches, but they have just one clean sheet in that run.
Rangers are coming from a 3-1 away win over Hearts, their fourth straight win and also the fourth straight game in which they scored two or more goals. That is one great stat they will take to this game, also having scored in nine of their last 10 matches. The last time they failed to score was in the semi final, in a 1-0 loss to RB Leipzig. That was their third loss in five matches in the Europa League and both teams have scored in three of Rangers’ last five matches in Europa League action. They have particularly done poorly away from home in this competition, as they go into this game on three straight away defeats, while they have just one win in five. Rangers have no clean sheet in their last five away matches in Europa League.
Both these sides have good scoring runs and this is one of the qualities they take to this game. In terms of form in this competition though, Frankfurt have been the best; they have placed more focus on the Europa League than Bundesliga and will be unleashing their all here. Back Frankfurt to win but both sides to score.
