2022 Europa League Final betting picks – Eintracht vs Rangers

The Europa League is one of the most prestigious tournaments in world soccer, yet it feels like no one is paying attention at the moment. This year, the final will feature two rising teams in European soccer that will have a prime opportunity to announce their arrival amongst the continent’s elite. It will be Germany’s Eintracht Frankfurt facing off against Scotland’s Rangers. Both of these teams have had great runs to reach this point, and here are some picks to make the clash in Sevilla on Wednesday night just that much more interesting.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Rangers betting predictions

For this final, we are going with the underdogs. Rangers have had a remarkable run to get to this point and keep proving the doubters wrong. They have true goalscoring talent in Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos. Rangers already knocked off RB Leipzig to get to this final, and Leipzig (4th) finished some 16 points ahead of Eintracht (11th) in the Bundesliga standings this season. Rangers’ strength, however, may be their defense, where guys like James Tavernier and Connor Goldson will prove their worth. Rangers have been unflappable throughout this tournament, and that shouldn’t change in this final. They have something special going.

Frankfurt are quite an interesting team. They have defied the odds to get to this point and have had a lot of dramatic finishes en route to this final. They have struggled in the Bundesliga this season, falling out of the top 10 and failing to qualify for any European competitions next term. Ultimately, they aren’t a great team and have been lucky to get to this point. They are favorites due to being a bigger club, but Rangers have just as much talent, if not more. It’s going to be a tight, cagey fixture, but Rangers have the attacking talent to break through.

2022 Europa League Final first goalscorer pick

James Tavernier is one of the most underrated players in world soccer. He is a right-back for Rangers but leads the team in scoring. Sure, he takes their penalties, but he is a very prolific attacking option in his own right. Through 14 Europa League games this season, Tavernier has seven goals. Inherently, this is a good value bet. He will take any penalties that Rangers get, while he is also capable of scoring in outfield play. Watch Tavernier continue to showcase his skills to the world, and expect him to shine in one of the biggest games in his club’s history.
