Rangers FC - Borussia Dortmund ai prediction 24.02.2022 Europa League
Betting Tip for matchday 2 of the 2021/2022 Europa League between Rangers FC and Borussia Dortmund.
The second leg of this Round of 32 Europa League tie between Glasgow Rangers and Borussia Dortmund promises to be as explosive as the first. A place in the round of 16 is at stake and we can be sure both teams will be fighting viciously for it. Rangers surprised everyone when they beat Dortmund 4-2 in the first leg in Germany. This means that Dortmund have a lot to do to overcome the deficit at the noisy Ibrox Stadium, the iconic home of Rangers. As we preview this game, we promote Helabet betting site and 1xBet betting site. These are some of the best betting sites in Africa that we have covered in our bookmaker reviews.
GLASGOW RANGERS
Rangers put themselves in a good position to advance to the next stage after a 4-2 away win in the first leg. They take a two-goal advantage to Glasgow, where they hope the added presence of their fans will help them see this through. In that match, Rangers were already 2-nil up by halftime and a similar start in this match would be very much welcome by the home crowd and the team at large.
Nevertheless, coach Giovanni Van Bronckhorst and his men know that there is still a lot of work to be done. Their domestic league form has not been impressive, as confirmed by their lackluster 1-1 draw with Dundee United over the weekend. This Europa League tie can provide the much needed lift and reassure the fans about the coach and the team.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND
Dortmund seemed like they were caught off-guard in the first leg of this tie as they slumped to a big defeat 4-2 at home in a match that they were expected to win easily. It follows that they will approach this second leg with all the focus and determination that they can muster. The 6-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach did well to restore some confidence in the team ahead of this momentous game of the season.
Coach Marco Rose knows failure to proceed from this tie will put significant pressure on his tenure at the club. The team has been inconsistent in its performances in recent games and they need a big win here to reassure the fans. It is with huge relief that star striker Erling Haaland will be available for this game after missing the first leg. The team will definitely benefit from his goals and inspiration on the pitch.
