In the second leg of the Round of 16 of UEFA Europa League season 2019/20 this Thursday 06 August 2020 at 18:55 we will see Bayer 04 Leverkusen (3-4-3) facing Rangers (4-3-3) at the BayArena in Leverkusen, Germany.
In the first leg played on 12 March 2020, Bayer 04 Leverkusen has beated Rangers at the away ground (Rangers 1-3 Bayer 04 Leverkusen). Meanwhile, Bayer 04 Leverkusen ended German Bundesliga 2019/20 on the 5th place, which means that they are going to play in UEFA Europa League even next season, after they have been so close (2 points far away only) to end the season on the 4th place, which means a placement into UEFA Champions League. The German club has been once champion of this competition, back to the season 1987/88. They have the history on their side and also the players to try to win again the second most prestigious European cup after more than 30 years.
Their task in return match against Scottish team at their home ground in Leverkusen is quite clear, they simply need to stay unbeaten or to provide minimal lost. German team is in advance since they are coming from a big win in previous game against Rangers. But, it doesn't mean that they have to let their guard down, they will need to pay attention on their opponents because Rangers aren't surely coming in Germany to lose. Their coach Peter Bosz knows he can count on all of his players starting with German play-maker, also one of the best in the world no matter of his young age (21), Kai Havertz (12 goals and 6 assists in Bundesliga and 3 goals and 2 assists in UEFA Europa League) who is also club's main scorer in both competions, and his teammate, German forward Kevin Volland (10 goals and 7 assists in Bundesliga) who is in search of his first goal in UEFA Europa League this year. The German club has a target not to let their opponent achieve anything at their home ground, not even 1 point. They are looking straight to take a placement into quarter-finals of UEFA Europa League and hardly someone can stop them.
Scottish team Rangers FC from Glasgow, popular Teddy Bears, a club of the greatest tradition founded in 1872, will travel to Germany looking for a revenge for unfair defeat in the first leg at famous Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. Since the first leg, Rangers ended Scottish Premiership season 2019/20 by taking 2nd position at the ranking. Scottish vice-champions last weekend started Scottish Premiership season 2020/21 by victory against Aberdeen (Aberdeen 0:1 Rangers). Rangers have never won UEFA Europa League and judging by first leg result, this year probably won't be the lucky one for them.
Their task in return match against German team is also quite clear, they simply need to win this one with 2 goals difference. Their coach, legendary Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard, who is leading his team in second season in a row as a manager, has enormous experience in playing European elimination matches. After he achieved 2nd place in previous season in Scottish Premiership, he is now looking forward for a miracle which is to beat their next opponent in Germany and to qualify to quarter-finals of UEFA Europa League.
Having in mind that Rangers need a win with 2 goals difference, Steve Gerrard will put his hopes mostly in extremely talented Columbian forward Alfredo Morelos (6 goals in UEFA Europa League and 12 goals in Scottish Premiership 2019/20) and Romanian playmaker Ianis Hagi (2 goals in UEFA Europa League). Unfortunately for Rangers, they won't be able to count on legendary English striker Jermain Defoe (13 goals in Scottish Premiership 2019/20) due to knee injury.
These two teams have faced each other 3 times in their history. Beside the first leg when Bayer 04 Leverkusen defeated Rangers in Glasgow, they met also in the second round of UEFA Europa League season 1998/99 and Rangers than eliminated Bayer 04 Leverkusen (Rangers 1-1 Leverkusen and Leverkusen 1-2 Rangers).

This match will be full of goal chances by both sides. Rangers will spend most of the time by attacking and trying to score since they lost first leg. Bayer 04 Leverkusen are not just to defending tactics so they will try to score rather than defend, even if they are in advantage of 2 goals.
After all I said about these two teams, I rather say that this match will be full of goals.
So my final Leverkusen vs Rangers Bet is OVER 2.5

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
