Team news

Frankfurt news

• Frankfurt had an unexpectedly good team for their final league game against Mainz at the weekend.

• Obite Evan Ndicka, the centre-back, had to come off hurt and is now doubtful for Wednesday's Europa League final.

• Frankfurt is already without Martin Hinteregger, and attacking midfielder Jesper Lindstrom is a doubt for the German side.

• If Ndicka is unavailable, Christopher Lenz, Makoto Hasebe, and Stefan Ilsanker are ready to step in.

Rangers news

• Since arriving on loan in January, Aaron Ramsey and Amad Diallo have struggled for form and health, but Ramsey has started two of their past three games and Diallo has scored in two of them. As a result, Giovanni van Bronckhorst is faced with a difficult dilemma, as neither has previously made an impression.

• Van Bronckhorst used a back three in both legs of the Europa League semi-finals against RB Leipzig and is set to use the same system here, with John Lundstram at center-back.

• Ryan Jack has missed the last three games for Rangers due to injury and is a doubt for the Scottish side. Kemar Roofe and Alfredo Morelos, both forwards, appear to be out.

• Despite being named WhoScored Man of the Match in their 3-1 win over Hearts at the weekend, 18-year-old Alex Lowry will be dropped from the squad. In the win, he scored and assisted.

Match facts

• In the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt has won their last three games.

• In their last three Europa League matches, Eintracht Frankfurt has won by a single goal.

Frankfurt vs Rangers predictions

Frankfurt has only won three of their last 13 games across all competitions, but all three have come in this one. To reach the Europa League final, the German team defeated Real Betis, Barcelona, and West Ham.

The Rangers are on a four-game winning streak heading into Wednesday's final. Giovanni van Bronckhorst's squad has previously defeated German competition twice in the Europa League, in the semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund and the final against RB Leipzig.

Rangers have done an incredible job in reaching the Europa League final despite only winning once away from home this season, a 4-2 victory over Dortmund. Frankfurt, however, has won five of their six away matches in the competition, including recent victories over Barcelona and West Ham. On Wednesday, their away records could be the deciding factor.

Prediction: Frankfurt 2-1 Rangers
