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. Facing a 1-0 deficit as it headed home for the second leg of its quarterfinal matchup against Braga, Rangers captain James Tavernier found his way forward and scored a second-minute goal to level on aggregate.
The goal ignited the crowd and ultimately led to a victory in extra time, with Tavernier scoring again on a first-half penalty kick and Kemar Roofe netting the game-winner in the 101st minute. RB Leipzig held 71 percent of possession in the first matchup and has what many would view as the stronger overall side in this matchup but Rangers know that all bets would be off if it can find another early goal.
Tavernier has six goals now during UEFA Europa League play and the English wingback will be looking for any chance he can get to bomb forward and create an early chance for himself or a teammate. And with the club feeding off the energy from Ibrox Stadium, a plus-money payout for Rangers to score first seems like a great value.
