Rangers vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Talking Tactics

Giovanni van Bronckhorst must stick to his usual 4-2-3-1 despite opting for a 4-3-3 in recent games. The ‘double pivot’ deep down the midfield offers more balance and composure in terms of dominating possession and forming swift counter-attacking threats.

Oliver Glasner, on the other hand, prefers a 3-4-3 which at times shifts as a 5-4-1 or 3-4-2-1 based on opponents’ gameplan and strategy. The Austrian’s game-reading trait might make a difference in this epic finale.

Key Men

Rangers

Although a right fullback, skipper James Tavernier is the leading scorer of this season’s Europa League. His attacking involvement, Lundstram’s driving runs as well as Ryan Kent’s flair and pace down the wide should decide Rangers’ fortune this midweek.

Lindstrom and Daichi Kamada might cause menace in the Light Blues’ defence from both the flanks. The experience of Filip Kostic and Sebastian Rode should help them dominate the show against the Scottish hotshots.
