Glasgow Rangers hosts Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 24th at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow)
Rangers went the extra mile in the first leg. Few people expected even a draw from the Scots. But they managed to win and did it in a very bright style (2-4). Alfredo Morelos sent one of the goals into the opponents’ net. It was already the fifth goal for the Colombian in the current European campaign. After a 2-4 victory, van Bronckhorst's team can even lose with a difference of one goal and go to the 1/8 finals. Let’s look at the home statistics of the Light Blues in the Europa League. In the last ten games, they gained seven victories and one draw and lost only two times. The last five UEL home matches of Rangers ended with “Both teams to score — no.”

A week ago, Borussia Dortmund failed again without Erling Haaland. Bellingham and Guerreiro scored for the team in the first leg. If Marco Rose's men want to advance to the next round, they first need to level the score, that is, to score two goals. And if they want to avoid extra time, they should win with a difference of three goals. Interesting fact: Borussia Dortmund gained its last victory with a difference of three goals in the second most important European competition back in 1990! It's time to see how the Yellow-Blacks perform on foreign pitches in the Europa League. In the previous 15 matches, they gained eight victories and five draws and suffered two defeats. And they failed to score in only three of those 15 games.
Six of Borussia Dortmund's last eight away games in the UEL ended with Under 3.5 goals scored. And the Yellows-Blacks didn’t score more than two goals in nine out of 12 previous away matches in this tournament. However, I would like to believe that the second leg of this confrontation will turn out to be no less interesting than the first. Logically, if the Scots were so good in Dortmund, they should look even brighter at home. But everything will depend on what lineup Rose will field. If Meunier and Haaland appear on the pitch, Borussia’s chances of winning will significantly increase. Moreover, van Bronckhorst's men are unlikely to sit on a lead.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
