⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

[LittleBitFunny]

I am really going to be surprised if both teams play defensively in the finals because I expect at least one team to be aggressive and I think that will be Rangers. Because Frankfurt likes to play with possession and control of the ball. So, I don't think we are going to see any early attack from Frankfurt. But they play really good build-up football. At least that's what they have done judging by the performance in Europa League.

I agree with you. The rangers will not play defensively. However, Frankfurt will focus on ball possession and try to score from the counterattack. Frankfurt is definitely more experienced than the Rangers. However, the Rangers' attack is strong enough. I'm not sure if the Frankfurt defender will be able to resist them. If the Frankfurt defenders play well, Frankfurt will be able to score from the counterattack.

In this case I still remember some of the conversations here that say that the best defense is to attack.
I think it would not hurt to play open. they are now in the final and this will only happen in 90 minutes and it would be a shame if in these 90 minutes they were only assigned to defence. maybe this strategy is good enough while waiting for carelessness for the opposing team but what if the opposite happens because when you continue to defend and the opponent continues to attack then indirectly it will definitely give more and more gaps.

I really like the people of Eintrach Frankfurt but I think I prefer Rangers to be champions, so that a Scottish team can once again be at the top of European football and be on everyone's lips again.
Apart from the fact that after what the Rangers people suffered having to start from scratch it would be a huge redemption to become champions

Its the Europa League final and both teams have shown with there performance in the last weeks that they can manage to win.
Also if the Rangers making a goal first this means nothing as Frankfurt has shown a few times that they can come back and change the game.
I expect all 2 Teams trying to make the game and we will see a forward playing match , my hope is that Frankfurt will win it today.

I think if Rangers get 1 goal at the start of the match,  it is going to make things a little easier for them. and I believe they also know that Frankfurt is a team that can come back really strongly. and I believe Rangers will play accordingly. But Frankfurt is a team that is going to play with confidence and they are not going to make solo plays in my opinion.
Anyway, I think Frankfurt has a better chance after what they have shown in the Europa League.

What do you think about a total goal? we know both teams are very aggressive in scoring so there is potential on total goals
But sometimes the final matches are different from the two teams can play more carefully so a little doubt
In the first half the match was sure to run slowly the second half is usually the most crucial.

I think it should be 2-1 in favor of Frankfurt. But honestly, this is just a wild guess because I believe they are not going to sit behind and defend everything. once the deadlock is broken the match will be open for anyone for the taking. so I am expecting to see some goals and also goals from both teams.

No, maybe your guess will be right in the end. The game starts in 1 hour 20 minutes, and I agree Rangers won in today's Europa League final. Regardless of whether Frankfurt are doing very well in the Europa League so far, I don't think they will win the title. The chance may be the same as no team can be determined as favorites to win, but I believe Rangers can win this title.

Probably Eintracht will win, but I think a good bet today would be both teams to score, at odds of 1.8... In general, this year's final is unusual - the Bundesliga underdog meets this year's big sensation Rangers... Probably no one expected these teams to meet in the final, beating Barcelona, West Ham, Atalanta and other favourites...

Yeah, before season it was imposible to predict that these tw teams will be in the final. Especially considering that both teams don't have successful season in domestic leagues. Eintracht is just mid table team, while Rangers didn't managed to defend their title against Celtic.
Eintracht IMO deserves title more, considering what teams in the road to final they eliminated, Rangers had easier path a bit. But I don't see that they have significant advantage and it's 50/50 game.

There is no doubt that in today's match, Frankfurt is the favorite. But the Rangers are a team that can qualify for the finals, which no one imagined. The Rangers team performance is quite good. But many of us don’t know exactly about this team. There is nothing to be surprised if Rangers win in the final. Because the Rangers have the ability to beat a team like Frankfurt. Playing on the Frankfurt defensive strategy will make it harder for them to win.

My bet is today clear for Frankfurt and it will probably be a high-scoring match, if you like risky bets I think that both teams will score + Frankfurt will be the winner. Of course, no recommendation, everyone has to decide for themselves what they bet.

this is a final match even though Frankfurt are highly favored to win the Europa League competition but they must not underestimate the rangers because football sometimes gives a lot of surprises and for the betting market itself they are still 50:50 this can not be separated from the performance of the two who appear not so consistent in the domestic competition in the past few weeks for the final match itself, the two teams will appear all out to be winners in the competition so that they can automatically qualify for next year's UCL competition without having to pass the qualifying round

Rangers had a very good season with Van Bronckhorst. Thanks to the fast-paced football they played, they came to the final and the final match will start soon. Frankfurt wasn't that good in the league but my favorite is Frankfurt in this match. If they can pass the first 20 minutes without conceding a goal, I think they will play more comfortably. A good match awaits us.

The champions league finals between Rangers and Frankfurt I not exciting  me to watch. I have long expected Barcelona vs Westham to be in this final, but it's a pity it didn't happen. At worse I believed one of the will be in the final. Frankfurt eliminated both of them and this final would be boring to watch.
I cannot even say club to win because I didn't watch Rangers till they got to this stage. But I have watched Frankfurt with their defensive mentality. Since there is no other match to watch, let us enjoy this. The opening ceremony was superb and that could be the most exciting scene in tonight's match.

Finally the Europa League final game has started. It has been around ten minutes so far and there has been a balanced game by these teams. Each one of them want to weigh the other and play according to it. Because they haven't played even a single game against each other before. So they don't know each other much. And it is up to them to make use of this situation somehow. When it comes to my favourite, I think Rangers will win the title.

20 minutes went by but there was still nothing exciting Rangers showed to press as their possession only reached midfield.
on the other hand, in this case Frankfurt are more able to maximize the situation and they are patiently waiting for Rangers' mistakes in this match.
there were a few shots they tried and it was good enough in my opinion to make the Rangers defense feel this is not safe

Frankfurt is much more dangerous for now, they already had a couple of good opportunities to score and Rangers can be very happy that this game is still 0:0. Would love to see a goal soon and then we will have an even better game on our hands.

Rooting for Rangers tonight since their win makes it easier for Croatian clubs to enter in Europe next season but does not look like their night so far.

Frankfurt vs Glasgow is now at the end of the 1st half and we are still waiting for a goal. Frankfurt so far has more chances, but Glasgow is not playing too bad either. If the games goes on like this then Frankfurt has a slight advantage in winning the game, but it is a pretty open competition. Let's hope for some goals and excitement in the 2nd half

Current odds at the bookmakers are:
Winner: Frankfurt 1.6 / Glasgow 2.25
More than 2.5 goals: 2.75 (this seems interesting, if we see a goal soon, then the game could open up and lead to more goals)

Frankfurt is more dominating and confident 10 shots so far have not succeeded in changing the score Rangers implement a defensive system
But Rangers will make changes to the strategy in the 2nd half I saw them doing it in the last match.

In terms of chances and shooting attempts they are far superior but in this case Ranger is still in control. I don't know if this is Glasner's tactic or not but indeed in this match Frankfurt were more patient in waiting for the Rangers players to leave and still took advantage of some mistakes from Ranger's players.
they don't even have the Initiative to play the ball first because on some occasions they even attack straight away without waiting and fix their rhythm

+40 minutes on the game, still 0-0 between Frankfurt and Rangers.
Frankfurt is trying to score but didn't succeed so far. I think there will be goals in the second half but extra time and even penalties are possible too.
I am going for Frankfurt to win

Rangers is up
I would be really glad to see Giovanni with a EL title this year, it was completely unexpected in the beginning, but that could be said for Frankfurt as well

Rangers was really down a decade ago, started from the scratch, and EL title would be an icing on the cake for them, and Giovanni was a great player, this would put him as great manager too
