Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers Play Unexpected Europa League Final
Published May 16, 2022 by Florin P
Rangers take on Frankfurt in the Europa League final, while Arsenal and Liverpool play decisive matches in the Premier League, as they try to secure major objectives.
The second most anticipated match of May is scheduled this week as Frankfurt and Rangers play the Europa League final. The two teams have reached the final stage of the competition and defied crushing odds, but they have one last obstacle to overcome. Elsewhere, Italian and English teams prepare for the final week of the domestic championships, some fighting for key objectives in the remaining rounds.
Rangers Take on Frankfurt in Sevilla Final
Frankfurt defied expectations and sent home vastly better teams, including Barcelona in the competition's quarterfinals. They maintained the high tempo with a victory over West Ham and can now defeat another British opponent. A few injury concerns could hamper their efforts, but the Germans are still in a prime position to emerge victorious. 1xBet offers odds of 13/10 on them to win, a clear indicator that the bookmaker trusts Frankfurt with the first chance.
The Rangers enjoyed a relatively more straightforward track to the final but have the merit of giving 100% in every single game. The semifinal victory over Leipzig highlights their ability to withstand pressure, which will come in handy ahead of this fixture. Home pitch advantage was significant, so there are slight concerns regarding their ability to win the most important game on the road. Odds of 2/1 highlight their underdog status, but the Rangers are well capable of stunning Frankfurt and lifting the Europa League trophy.
Arsenal and Liverpool Chase Key Victories on the Road
West Ham granted Liverpool a second chance after the Londoners denied Manchester City victory this weekend. They need to do their part and defeat Southampton on the road to keep their Premier League hopes alive. The hosts have nothing to fight for, so the odds of 2/5 for an away victory are fully justified, while few can leap of faith with 6/1 odds on the home side.
Arsenal play on Monday against Newcastle, a team that successfully avoided relegation but sank into near irrelevance immediately after. The Gunners must win on the road to return to a Champions League spot but will have to do it without four players. Even so, 1xBet trust them with the first chance and odds of 3/4, while a surprising victory for the unmotivated home side benefits from odds of 37/10.
Italian Team Wrap Up Disappointing Serie A Season
Inter and AC Milan will fight until the last round for the Serie A trophy, whereas Juventus and Fiorentina compete only for pride. They can still trouble teams with clear objectives, such as Lazio, trying to secure a Europa League berth. Juventus have an impressive track record in head-to-head games and start with the first chance and odds of 13/10 at bet365 sports, whereas Lazio is priced at 2/1.
Sampdoria successfully avoided relegation, and without a clear objective, they could ruin Fiorentina’s plans for the season. They play at home against a team that is in dire need of a victory to remain in the race for a Europa League spot. We believe Fiorentina can double down on the recent victory over AS Roma and confirm the odds of 3/4 rather than trusting Sampdoria to win at odds of 37/10 at bet365 sports.
