Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways in their last game, thumping Union Berlin 3-0 in the domestic league. They will be shifting gears to the Europa League next, and have a home game against Scottish giants Rangers in the knockout round playoff clash. In the absence of their talisman, Erling Haaland, who is injured, Dortmund did well against Union Berlin. The three goals scored in that game mean Dortmund have now scored two or more in four of their last five matches. At home they have scored two or more in each of the last six matches but in the last 10 they conceded two or more in three. Ahead of this game, each of Dortmund’s last five matches has attained over 2.5 goals. they have two losses in those five matches and after their early exit from the Champions League, Dortmund will definitely want to leave an impression in the Europa League

Rangers head into this game on a good run; they have three straight wins, the most recent being a 3-0 victory over Annan Athletic in the FA Cup. The opposition they meet against Dortmund will be greater but after keeping three straight clean sheets, they will be confident going into this game. The last time Rangers lost was a 3-0 humbling by Glasgow rivals Celtic and since then they haven’t faced such top class opposition, which makes this a very tough game for them. Twice in the last five matches Dortmund have conceded three goals, and four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. This will be the first ever meeting with Dortmund, and Rangers will want, for a start, to defend better. The absence of Norwegian Erling Haaland will work to Rangers’ advantage. Rangers have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches.
