UEFA Europa League picks for Rangers vs. RB Leipzig
Before you tune in to Thursday’s match, you need to see the Rangers vs. RB Leipzig picks from soccer insider Jon Eimer. He is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, Eimer has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
For RB Leipzig vs. Rangers, Eimer is backing Rangers to score first for a +135 payout. Founded in March of 1872, the club just celebrated its 150-year anniversary and an already rabid fanbase should be energized coming off a 1-1 draw against Old Firm rival Celtic in a game where it was considered a heavy underdog last weekend.
Rangers already laid out a pretty clear blueprint for using Ibrox Stadium to its advantage during its quarterfinal matchup against Braga. It entered the second leg down 1-0 and absolutely peppered Braga at home, outshooting the visitors 31-6 en route to a 3-1 victory that gave it a 3-2 win on aggregate.
James Tavernier scored in the second minute of that match for Rangers to set Ibrox alight and the energy from that moment forward played a huge role in the come-from-behind win. Look for Rangers to be eager to get an early goal again to level the score with RB Leipzig and use the crowd to apply pressure on the German side.
