Our prediction for this Europa League match:
There will be fireworks when Rangers and Borussia Dortmund face each other in a highly-anticipated Europa League game. Rangers did well to shock Borussia (4-2) at Signal-Iduna-Park, with the team moving one step closer to booking their place in the Europa League last 16. The Gers are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the second leg, but head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst must warn his men against complacency.
All Balogun, Hagi, and Ofoborh should miss out for the hosts through different reasons. The Bundesliga outfit, on the other hand, have no other choice but to go all guns blazing at Rangers. Emre Can is back from suspension, while all Meunier, Akanji, Haaland, Morey Bauza, and Schmelzer are out of contention with injuries. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards, and we believe that over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Scott Arfield):
Despite being born in Dechmont, Scotland, Scott Arfield represents Canada on the international stage. Arfield, though, played for Scotland U19 and U21 teams in the past and he made one appearance for Scotland B as well. Scott’s father, though, was born in Toronto, Canada and that is the main reason why he decided to play for the Canada national football team.
The Burnley midfielder made his Canada debut on March 25, 2016 in a 3-0 loss to Mexico. Scott Arfield began his club career at Falkirk and he scored 13 goals in 108 appearances in the league for the Scottish club. In 2010 he signed a deal with Huddersfield Town and he played for the Terriers from until 2013.
As previously mentioned, Arfield currently wear’s Burnley shirt, meaning that he is enjoying the Premier League football. You should bear in mind that the Scottish midfielder netted one goal for Burnley in the 2016/2017 season. He found the net in a 2-1 win over Everton on October 10, 2016.
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
