Those indicate that it will be Eintracht Frankfurt that will overwhelm the Scottish side in the end. First off, the German club's supporters have both for this European campaign and in previous overseas trips, and this final should be no exception. Seville will be overwhelmed with German supporters, and while Rangers also travel well, the stadium should display a clear home-field advantage for one of the two. Second, Eintracht Frankfurt has the more dangerous players. Filip Kostic has the most a sists in the Europa League this season (5), and that's not just down to small sample size. His Khalil Mack Jerseys 9 a sists in Bundesliga play are tied for eighth, but his 10.05 expected a sists rank fifth.

Moneyline lean:Eintracht FrankfurtScoreline prediction:Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Rangers MORE: Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Rangers Keenan Allen Jerseys best bets & expert analysisEintracht Frankfurt vs. Rangers best bet This should be a close match between two very good teams in a competition known for chaos, so predicting the match is a difficult proposition. While the focus for this game has largely focused on the two teams' comparative attacking prowe s, it's the defensive structure that sets them apart. Eintracht Frankfurt has kept just two clean sheets all Europa League campaign, but limiting the damage has seen the club concede two or more goals just twice as well. The lo s of center back Martin Hinteregger for the remainder of the season hurts, but Evan Ndicka's stock has soared this season, and fellow 22-year-old Tuta has done his best defensive work in the Europa League. Ndicka is SofaScore's eighth-best defender in the Bundesliga this season, while Tuta has completed more tackles than anyone else in Europa League play. Rangers, meanwhile, have had a few big performances of late, but Chase Daniel Jerseys also some duds. Lo ses by 1-0 to both RB Leipzig and Braga saw the Scottish side need home leg comebacks to advance, and early lo ses to Lyon and Sparta Prague, both without scoring, are also worrisome. While the team is different under Giovanni van Bronckhorst now than they were at that time under Steven Gerrard who departed in November, Rangers still boast an attack that's prone to invisible performances. Goals will be hard to come by in this match, and Frankfurt should have the firepower to take it over the line.

Liverpool need a new goalkeeper, says Steve Nicol, with AC Milans Gianluigi Donnarumma an ideal Yannick Ngakoue Jerseys option for the next decade. Jurgen Klopp has spent the 2017-18 campaign rotating his options between the sticks, with Loris Karius currently being favoured to Simon Mignolet. Nicol is not convinced by either and believes the Reds need to be in the market for a new No. 1 this summer. The former Reds star told ESPN FC: To be honest I think Liverpool should go and see if they can either get a No. 1 or have somebody whos on a level with Karius. Mignolet isnt, hes clearly the No 2 Rodney Thomas Jerseys and I think what Mignolets doing is waiting to see if he can get a game in the World Cup. Thibaut Courtois has had a couple Peyton Manning T Shirts of injury nicks recently and a good World Cup would mean Mignolet is in the shop window and he could get himself a good move. Liverpool spent big in January plugging a defensive hole with 75 million centre-half Virgil van Dijk, and Nicol feels they should be looking to Italy for another long-term solution in a problematic position. The Scot added: Liverpools problems were always the defensive unit and by that, more importantly, the centre-back position Dayo Odeyingbo Jerseys and the goalkeeper. Theyve certainly made a difference signing Van Dijk in the centre-back position.   Karius, as good as the last couple of Brandon Kemp Jerseys months he has had, are we really 100 per cent relying on him? Im not ready for that yet. That means Liverpool, in my opinion, have to go out and get a recognised No 1. I would have no problem with him Roma keeper Ali son , I would have no problem if they can get the likes of Donnarumma who would be a goalkeeper for the next decade. But I think definitely its a priority now for Liverpool. It is a weak spot, again as good as Karius has been recently, hes not the finished article Curtis Brooks Jerseys by a long way.
