Rangers take on the visitors RB Leipzig in the second leg of UEFA Europa League semifinals. The first leg result: 0-1. The match will be played on Thursday, May 5th at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow).
The club in the last round of the Premiership could not win against their main enemy and historical rival, Celtic. As a result, the "light blue" after these 1-1 remained at a distance of 6 points from the competitor. The fact that the Scots were able to pass the group stage, where the rivals were not only Brondby, but also Lyon with Sparta Prague, was already a good result. But there were further successes - van Bronkhorst's wards were able to deal consistently with Borussia (and they started 1/16 in 4-2 in Dortmund), Red Star and Braga. Yes, last week there was a defeat in Germany, RB Leipzig. But at the same time, the team also, 0-1, lost in the quarterfinals in Portugal. But then at home, at Ibrox, they took revenge by knocking out the Archbishops in extra time. And now I don't mind doing the same in Glasgow.

RB Leipzig are now aiming for 3 ambitious goals. And, of course, this is the result of the progress that we managed to demonstrate in 2022, under Domenico Tedesco. Given the competition from Bayer and Freiburg, the team needs to fight to the last - the worst of this trio will remain without the Champions League. However, the Germans can break through if they win the Europa League. Having fallen there from 3rd place in the Champions League group, RB Leipzig dealt with Real Sociedad and Atalanta in the playoffs, and according to the same scenario: a productive draw at home and a victory away. In this regard, the “bulls” on April 28 achieved more than in previous stages: at the very end of the match, in the 85th minute, Angelino scored the goal.
Rangers have played against RB Leipzig only once before this semi-final clash, in a friendly at the beginning of 2017. Then it all ended with a devastating 4-0 victory for the Bulls. The Rangers are without injured Morelos, Helander and Hadji Jr., while Ofobor has heart problems. RB Leipzig are still without Amadou Aidar. Rangers will clearly be fighting for victory, but the visitors are probably try to hold on advantage.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
