RB Leipzig take on the visitors Rangers in the first leg of UEFA Europa League semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 28th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
RB Leipzig saved the season with appointment of Tedesco. They managed to break through to the cup final again, where RB Leipzig will be the pair's favorite. There is also a battle in the Europa League, where the Germans fell from 3rd place in the Champions League group. So far, both opponents have been defeated according to an identical scenario (with Spartak Moscow they did not play in the 1/8 finals due to the disqualification of the Russians). That in February with Real Sociedad, that in April with Atalanta bulls in the first home match there were effective draws. But then, in Spain and Italy, it was possible to win, and in 2 goals. It seems that now the opponent is weaker, but he should not be underestimated either.

Rangers, under new manager van Bronkhorst, in the more familiar Europa League, showed themselves as worthy team. Having already traditionally qualified to playoffs from the group, already in the 1/16 finals, the Rangers gave out a full-fledged sensation in the first match, beating 4-2 in Dortmund the 1st of the favorites, Borussia. The Light Blues also decided everything in the first match and in the next round, defeating Crvena Zvezda 3-0 at home. And only with Braga the team had to suffer: they lost 0-1 in Portugal, leading 2-0, conceded in the 83rd minute at home. And only thanks to Ruf's goal in the 101st minute, the archbishops got to the semifinals.
There were no official matches, but once, in January 2017, a friendly game was organized between the clubs. RB Leipzig won that match 4-0. RB Leipzig are still without Klostermann and Haidar. The Rangers will miss Ofobor, Morelos, Hadji Jr. and Helander. Bookmakers believe that RB Leipzig will win this match, without any problems. We believe that he will not repeat the mistake of Borussia (Dortmund), and we will bet on the Germans with a handicap of -1 goal scored.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with -1.0 handicap.
