RANGERS have saved their best performances for Europe this season and they’re going to need another huge effort to survive in Leipzig tonight.
McBookie make Gers 11/4 outsiders to reach the Europa League Final while they are 17/2 to win tonight’s first leg at the Red Bull Arena.
RB Leipzig are just 1/3 for a victory on home soil and it’s hard to disagree with those odds as the Ibrox side are missing so many key players through injury.
The most admirable thing about Rangers’ run to the semis is they have done by playing attacking football – this is no repeat of the Wattanaccio of 2008.
But they drew a blank in Braga without Alfredo Morelos and RB Leipzig are a step up in class so the home win to nil appeals tonight at 6/5 (Paddy Power).
Christopher Nkunku is the Leipzig dangerman, having netted an incredible 30 times this season. He’s 25/19 at SBK to add to that tally tonight.
West Ham also face German opposition in the other semi and should be too strong at home for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Oliver Glasner’s men have gone five without a win in the Bundesliga so a Hammers victory in London appeals at 20/21 with McBookie.
Leicester host Roma in the Conference League semis and I fancy the half-time draw (11/10, Bet365) as the teams size each other up.
Super Singles
- Nkunku to score (25/19, SBK)

- Combining the half-time draw with under 3.5 goals at Leicester pays 116/100.
