Mixed martial arts Rangers vs RB Leipzig Bet Builder Tips: May 5th
Rangers held out admirably in their first leg and absorbed much of what RB Leipzig could throw of them before succumbing to the pressure late on. However, they only trail by one goal heading into the second leg and they are more than capable of overturning the deficit in front of their home fans.
Van Bronckhorst’s men put in a solid display against Celtic at the weekend but it wasn’t enough to close the gap on their rivals and now they stand very little chance of retaining their domestic crown. This means that a miraculous Europa League win is their only hope of having any sort of bragging rights in Glasgow this season.
It’s also a massive game for RB Leipzig. The club were founded in 2009 and have found themselves in the Champions League semi-finals in recent years, but they are yet to secure a piece of major silverware. The Europa League this season represents a fantastic opportunity to do just that and they are favourites to reach the final heading into the second leg.
Rangers vs RB Leipzig Stats and Facts
- Rangers have won four of their last five Europa League matches at Ibrox
- There has been under 2.5 goals in each of Leipzig’s last three matches in the Europa League
- Leipzig lost their only previous competitive match away to Scottish opposition. Celtic beat them 2-1 in Glasgow back in 2018
- Rangers’ Ryan Kent leads the charts in the Europa League for the number of players dribbled past and carries into the final third
- Rangers defender James Tavernier has scored six goals in the Europa League already this season. He’s the joint-top scorer in the competition and has made more progressive passes than any other player
Rangers vs RB Leipzig Bet Builder Tips
The home side find themselves behind from the very first whistle here and this is usually a good time to get corners on side for the team who are chasing the tie. Rangers found themselves one goal down after the away leg when they faced Braga in the last round. The team then went on to win seven corners in front of their home fans in the second leg and I think they are capable of something similar here. Rangers to win over 5 corners in the match is priced at 2.37 as a single, so it’s well worth adding to our bet365 builder here.
Leipzig are also a very capable attacking side and they have shown that this season, particularly since they brought in Domenico Tedesco to replace Jesse Marsch. The German side are averaging just under 2.3 goals per game under their new coach and they possess the quality to exploit any gaps that Rangers may leave as they look for a way to turn the tie around.
Goals are a must for Rangers and they have showcased their goalscoring prowess throughout their European campaign. The Scottish side have found the net in seven of their eight European League matches at Ibrox and they have scored seven goals in their three knockout matches played at home. The inevitable desperation to score from Rangers and Leipzig’s attacking threat makes both teams to score a good bet for this one.

The main threat for the German outfit is Christopher Nkunku. The Frenchman is reportedly on the shopping list of a number of top clubs around Europe this season and he has been amongst the goals all season. He has 18 goals in the Bundesliga and 10 goals in European competitions this season but will have been disappointed with his performance in the first leg. The forward missed two golden opportunities to get on the scoresheet and he will be keen to remedy that here. As a result, I’m happy to add Nkunku to score anytime to the bet builder for this game.
I am expecting a strong display from the home side but I expect them to fall short. As previously mentioned, Leipzig have battled it out with Europe’s elite in recent years and that experience should be enough to get them over the line in this one.
- Over 5 Corners For Rangers
- Yes on Both Teams To Score
- Christopher Nkunku To Score
- RB Leipzig To Qualify

WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?
A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
