Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers are clashing at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in the UEFA Europa League Finals. Eintracht hasn’t been the best in Bundesliga, far from it, but they have done well in the Europa League. Rangers have lost the title to Celtic in the Premiership but getting to the Europa League finals is a massive accomplishment.

Eintracht has ended the Bundesliga season in 11th place, far away from the Europa League, or the Champions League spot, but if they win here, they will be going to the Champions League straight away. Neither offensively, nor defensively, Eintracht hasn’t done much this season, they were just an average team, but that didn’t stop them from getting where they are now. In the Europa League, Kamada is the leading goalscorer for Eintracht with 5 goals, while Kostic has added 3 goals and 3 assists. Eintracht is now undefeated in their last 3 games, 2 of which were in Bundesliga, and in their last game, Eintracht has tied with Mainz on the road. There are a few injuries in Eintracht, but they have had those for the entire season. I think Eintracht will once again have massive support from the stands, and they will definitely need it, but Eintracht is a good team that never gives up.

Rangers are now on a 4-game winning streak, and their game against Leipzig in the semifinals was impressive. After winning the title in Scotland last season, Rangers ended this season in 2nd place with only 4 points less than Celtic, but they were inconsistent when it mattered this season. Nobody was giving Rangers the chance to get past Leipzig in the semifinals, but they did, and I think they deserved to be here. Rangers have been effective when it comes to scoring goals, and I think they will be dangerous here as well, but they need to focus on defense as well. Tavernier is the leading goalscorer for Rangers in the Europa League with 7 goals, while Morelos has added 4 goals. Unfortunately for Rangers, they have a few injured, including Morelos, who will be missed in this game. Rangers is a really good team with great offense, as we can see, but they have never played in the finals of a competition like this, and it will be interesting to see what they can do.

This is the first-ever meeting between these two teams, and it is in the Europa League finals. If you told me before the season the Eintracht and Rangers will be playing in the finals, I wouldn’t believe you. Eintracht is a slight favorite, and I think they should be, but this will not be an easy game.
