You'd have got fairly large odds at the beginning of the season if you'd predicted an Eintracht Frankfurt v Rangers Europa League final but here we are and what an opportunity for both clubs to add a major European trophy to their honours list.
It looks like a game that could go either way but the bookies are favouring the Bundesliga side in the betting, making them 4/6 favourites in Seville, with Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's men 6/5 to lift the trophy. On the outright market (90 minutes) the Germans are 13/10 whilst the Scots are 21/10 but this one looks too close to call with the draw at 12/5 a lively shout.
The danger for Rangers could be complacency, they've already beaten Borussia Dortmund (2nd in Bundesliga) and RB Leipzig (4th) to reach the final so are surely capable of taking care of an Eintracht side that finished 11th and failed to win any of their last eight Bundesliga matches?
But the same could also be said of a Frankfurt side who have disposed of teams from Europe's top leagues such as Real Betis, West Ham and Barcelona and now face a Gers side who have already lost five times in the competition and won just one of seven away from Ibrox (W1 D2 L4), as well as suffering defeat at Malmo way back in August when Champions League qualification was at stake.
The unbeaten Germans topped a weak group that featured Olympiacos, Fenerbahçe and Antwerp whilst Rangers were the only team to qualify for the knock-out phase with 8 points, finishing second behind Lyon.
Early goals at Ibrox were a key feature of Rangers' run to the final but they adopted a more defensive approach when going down 1-0 to a late goal at RB Leipzig in the semi-final. Van Bronckhorst's attacking options are limited, although Kemar Roofe should return, so he may be a bit more pragmatic to start with. That could make for a cagey opening half hour where it's 5/6 for no goal to be scored.
The goals should come eventually though. All but two of Eintracht Frankfurt's 12 games in the competition so far have seen Both Teams Score, whilst Rangers' eight knock-out matches (inc extra-time) have featured 26 goals, averaging 3.25 per game.
BTTS tonight pays 3/4, Over 2.5 Goals is even money. The former looks the better option despite the shorter price.
James Tavernier has scored more than anyone else in this year's tournament with his uncanny knack of popping up inside the box from his right wingback position. He's also been deadly from the penalty spot so it's a surprise to see 11 players ahead of him in the betting at Bet365. The Englishman has scored four times from the spot and is 10/1 to open the scoring this evening or 7/2 to score anytime.

Not a stat led bet this one, although there are still stats to support it. The main theory behind this bet is simple – Northampton are a goal down from the first leg and have to attack. They have to win to stay in the tie and you’d think that will bring about corners, especially with the home crowd roaring them on.
Northampton have decent corner stats. They averaged 5.4 corners at home throughout the main season and play a Mansfield side who conceded an average of just under 5 corners in away games over the course of the season.
Northampton were 2-0 down after half an hour in the first leg, so spent most of the game chasing and this reflected in the first leg corner count, which was 7-1 In Northampton’s favour. You’d think this will continue in the second led as they chase down an equaliser and hopefully this will translate to corners. Odds of 4/5 for just 5 or more corners for a home side who need to attack has to be taken on in my opinion.
I’ve also added in the 3/1 shot for Northampton to repeat the 7 corners they had in the first leg. Not a bad shout at that price considering they might be chasing the game for large parts and are at home.
Good luck all.
13/20 best price available with PP at this moment in time
Nothing else jumping out price wise in Norway now markets have opened up that hasn’t been covered yesterday. Did notice Levanger game odds have plummeted as expected with the Nap now 4/11 😅

Santo doing poorly and imbabura doing well in their first season here.
Santo do score regularly enough at home though (scored in 7 of last 8 home games)
*** Imbabura seen BTTS in the last 8 and 11 of last 12 away games ***
Reverse fixture was 2-0 imbabura but Santo only scored 1 goal in 6 away games.
Prediction 1-1 or Hopefully another goal for the side bet.

Hard lines for Rangers played well enough.
Well done to Slipstips for his corner prediction on the Northampton game, following on from his 2 predictions and 2 winners last night..
Finished 1-0 in Ecuador, nap lost, 2 red cards probably didn’t help 🤥.
Got a few pennies back with Frankfurt to win on penalties, but still a loss on the night.
Well done winners today and commiserations to rangers, you did your country proud 🏴
