Super Computer issues fresh Rangers v Frankfurt Europa League prediction after Kemar Roofe update
The tie appears to have swung in the favour of Rangers with them now being the favourites to defeat Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
The two sides are set to square off in the Europa League final with Gers eyeing their first continental glory in 50 years – with their last honour coming in 1972.
Recently, Giovanni van Bronckhorst provided an update on Kemar Roofe’s situation ahead of the final, saying, “He’s not training with the team at the moment, we are trying to get him on the pitch hopefully at the weekend but for him, he is doing everything and I really admire his desire to be ready for the game on Wednesday.”
This update undoubtedly has handed Gers a massive advantage and they’re now given a 53 per cent chance of winning this contest by FiveThirtyEight’s Super Computer.
When we last checked the crunched numbers and covered the story for this website, they only had a 48 per cent chance and were underdogs for the final.
Let’s win this
Gers are in good form going into the final and we back them to get the job done in Seville.
Not only do they have a better team and manager, but their fanbase is second to none and their supporters are descending in numbers to Spain.
The Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan may host only a certain number of fans, but many are set to make the trip and watch it on nearby screens.
This undoubtedly will give the players a huge boost, if they needed one ahead of this mega encounter.
Hopefully, Roofe manages to play this one as there’s a desperate need of a focal point and he can provide that for van Bronckhorst’s side.
Even without him in the eleven, the Ibrox giants must surely be confident of getting the job done and bringing back a European trophy.
In other Rangers news, the club are ‘not convinced’ by a key first-team player and an early termination of his contract is extremely likely.
