Prediction for Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers: Goals on the cards in Europa League final

Rangers touched 150/1 to win the Europa League with a handful of bookmakers in mid February but they are now just 90 minutes away from lifting Europe's second-most prestigious trophy for the first time.

Victory in Seville's Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán would not only be a momentous moment in the club's history, but it would also guarantee Rangers a place alongside arch-rivals Celtic in next season's Champions League - and the riches that brings.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side are narrow outsiders at 6/5 with Betfred, while their German opponents are 4/6 to lift the second European trophy in their history.

But being outsiders won't bother a Rangers side that have continued to defy the odds in this tournament. The Gers have already seen off the second (Dortmund) and fourth-best (Leipzig) teams in this season's Bundesliga so you could easily argue they have nothing to fear from a Frankfurt side that sits as low as eleventh in Germany's top division.

However, Frankfurt have been almost chameleon-like in their performance levels, so much so that they have yet to be beaten in any of their 12 European matches this season. Victories away at Barcelona and West Ham in the last two rounds of this competition provide confirmation, if it were needed, that Oliver Glasner's side can hurt anyone on their day.

Having changed coach, sporting director and losing last season's top scorer Andre Silva in the summer, Frankfurt have done remarkably well to reach this stage of the competition and their offensive threat is huge - especially from wide areas. Wing backs Filip Kostic, who has one of the best left pegs in European football, and loanee Ansgar Knauff who scored against Barcelona and West Ham, are both adept at getting behind defences and carving out big openings.

If Rangers can get that pair, neither of which are the greatest defensively, running back towards their own goal, then that could be half the battle. Defensively, Frankfurt can be got at. Their only clean sheet in the last ten matches in all competitions was against a West Ham side that were reduced to ten men after just 19 minutes - which was also their first European clean sheet since September (nine matches in that period and 11 goals shipped).

Prediction for Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers

Frankfurt haven't lost a single Europa League match all season and they have scored at least once in every one of those matches while Rangers go into this having scored 12 goals in their last four matches so it's hard to see this being a drab 0-0 despite what's at stake.

If Rangers can get to grips with Frankfurt's wide wizards then they have a real chance here, whether that be in 90 minutes or by taking this deep. With that in mind, the most prudent punting option is to combine Rangers and the draw (double chance) with both teams to score in the standard 90 minutes, which is a 6/4 poke.

Recommended bet: Draw/Rangers (Double Chance) and Both Teams to Score (yes) @ 6/4 with Betfred
