Prediction for Rangers vs RB Leipzig: Gers could give Ibrox crowd a night to remember

History beckons for Rangers or RB Leipzig on Thursday night as the pair do battle for a place in the 2022 Europa League final in Sevilla.

Rangers must find a way of overturning a one-goal deficit if they are to reach their first European final since 2008 and only their second final in 50 years, while Leipzig are just 90 minutes away from their first appearance in a European final.

A spectacular late volley from Angeliño is all that separates these two sides after a keenly contested first leg in the Red Bull Arena and although Rangers hardly peppered the Leipzig goal that night, they did carve out some quite promising openings and that will give them major encouragement.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst' side are huge underdogs (7/2 with Betfred ) to make it to the final, while the German outfit are red-hot 1/6 chances to complete the job in Glasgow.

Rangers' prospects will improve significantly if they can strike early which they did when overcoming a first-leg deficit in the quarter-finals against Braga. An early Gers goal would take the roof off Ibrox on a night where the home support could play a vital role in how this game works out.

Leipzig looked a bit leggy and short on confidence when going down 3-1 against Borussia Monchengladbach on Monday night - their second successive Bundesliga defeat, so their preparation for the biggest game of their season has hardly been ideal.

Domenico Tedesco's side have shipped eight goals on their travels in Europe this year so they haven't exactly been bombproof on the road and Rangers will feel that they can craate big chances, especially if Kemar Roofe returns from injury to give the hosts a recognised striker.

Prediction for Rangers vs RB Leipzig

This isn't an easy game to weigh up for punters but the layers might just have underestimated Rangers, or at least underestimated just how influential the Ibrox crowd could be on this game.

Leipzig have shipped five in their last two Bundesliga matches and Rangers, who have scored in every home game since September, might just have it in them to turn this around.

Rather than betting the outright result, it might pay to focus on the goals markets, where the 7/4 about the hosts to score two or more makes some appeal. This could be quite a night.

Recommended bet: Over 1.5 Rangers goals @ 7/4 with Betfred
