Scroll down for all of our predictions, poll and stats for the Eintracht Frankfurt v Rangers game - plus the latest betting odds.
Eintracht Frankfurt prepare for this match coming off the back of a 2-2 Bundesliga 1 drawn game against Mainz.
In that game, Eintracht Frankfurt managed 51% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. For Eintracht Frankfurt, the goals were scored by Tuta (26') and Rafael Borré (35'). At the other end, 1. FSV Mainz 05 got 12 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Marcus Ingvartsen (10', 49') scored for Mainz.
It has not been often in recent times that Eintracht Frankfurt have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Eintracht Frankfurt have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals during that time.
Rangers come into this meeting after a 1-3 Premiership win with the defeat of Hearts in their most recent fixture.
In that game, Rangers had 58% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. For Rangers, the goalscorers were Cedric Itten (32'), Alex Lowry (45') and Cole McKinnon (81'). Hearts had 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Peter Haring (24') scored for Hearts.
The numbers tell their own story, and Rangers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 5 goals in total. At the back, Rangers have seen their frailties exposed. That pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, however.
Jesper Lindström (Hamstring Injury), Danny da Costa (Pubis bone irritation), Jan Schröder (Torn Muscle Fibre), Diant Ramaj (Meniscal Injury) and Martin Hinteregger (Hamstring Injury) will not be taking part for Eintracht Frankfurt gaffer Oliver Glasner. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Enrique Herrero García, Stefan Ilsanker and Erik Durm.
Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Nnamdi Ofoborh (Heart Condition), Filip Helander (Foot Injury), Alfredo Morelos (Thigh Problems) and Ianis Hagi (Knee Surgery) will miss out on this game.
In our opinion, Rangers could find themselves struggling to get anything against this Eintracht Frankfurt side who will likely get the vital goal that wins it.
We’re therefore predicting a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning margin for Eintracht Frankfurt when the full-time whistle blows.
