Great odds for Eintracht, in my opinion. I was expecting to see a -0.5 line, to be honest, the sort of offer that would make me question if I actually want to risk money on the German side. But in fact the handicap is 0 and you can get Frankfurt at around 1.80 odds on this line - a really generous move from the bookmakers.

Of course, finals live by their own rules and all pre-match analysis often goes to waste. In the case with Rangers, though, i think we have to acknowledge two things:

They had a significantly easier schedule on the road to the final. There can be no 2nd opinion on that statement. Red Bull Leipzig (their really poor april-may edition, which almost lost to Arminia Bielefeld in the final matchday of Bundesliga); Portuguese 4th team Braga and Crvena Zvezda. In all (!!) of these ties Rangers lost the away games.

1-2 to Crvena Zvezda, 0-1 in Portugal and 0-1 in Germany. In all duels Rangers made the most of their home advantage of the magic Ibrox Stadium;

The level of the Scottish league. When you have 3-4 games of top level a season (derbies vs. Celtic) and the rest of the fixtures are more like training sessions, obviously it is harder for the team to compete in Europe. Rangers have done a remarkable job to get where they are, but again, lots of credit for it has to go to the schedule and the luxury of playing 2nd leg fixtures at home (vs. Braga and Leipzig Rangers decided matters in Scotland);

Eintracht threw literally everything into Europa League and their path to the final saw them record a few serious scalps along the way: Betis, Barcelona, West Ham. They took wins in all 3 (!!) away fixtures of these ties and then saw off the advantage on home turf.

In contrast to Rangers, Eintracht has shown how versatile they can be and that they do not have to rely on strong domestic support to get results.

These factors combined with the odds on the market make me believe Eintracht on 0 handicap is a good call for tonight.

Unfortunately, I have no double choice with the lottery and have to post Eintracht win by full time without the safety of a draw outcome. You should, of course, feel free to take the “draw no bet” offer with any bookmaker in Europe or Asia.

Enjoy the final!
