Rangers – RB Leipzig

Rangers will open up and Leipzig will get chances in the counter-attacks

Rangers take on RB Leipzig in the return leg of the Europa League semi-final at home. The Scottish club lost 0-1 in Germany in the first leg. Predictions of a big defeat for Rangers did not materialise. The intrigue of the encounter is still alive. The Scottish club played organised defensively. Now, they need to take their chances and go forward. Leipzig have seen a decline in recent matches. The team is facing big problems. Two defeats in a row in the Bundesliga have raised the question of the club's qualification to next year's Champions League. Tedesco's side managed to lose at home to Union and conceded three goals against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Now the fate of fourth place does not depend on Domenico Tedesco's team. The main focus should be on the Europa League. The Scottish club also didn't play as predicted. At the weekend, bookmakers were expecting a defeat against Celtic. In the end, Rangers put up a fight and snatched a draw. The Scottish club have significant problems with their squad. Rangers cannot use two key attacking players in the semi-final - Morelos and Hadji. Defender Helander will also be out. Leipzig have no further losses. Midfielder Aydara is still out with an injury. Based on the result of the first game, we can assume a different scenario in Glasgow. Rangers will be forced to go on the attack in large numbers. Leipzig, however, are very strong on the counterattack. The team has one of the fastest attacking lines in Europe. The bookmakers rightly favour Leipzig, but the odds are too low for a good bet. It makes sense to think in the direction of betting on total goals. A low-scoring match is much less likely than a high-scoring one. With the support of their own fans in a historic encounter, Rangers will act bravely. It will most likely end in defeat, but the Scots will certainly get their chances to score. Leipzig's defence has been poor in recent Bundesliga rounds. We expect a high-scoring encounter with a final advantage for Leipzig.
