Ahead of the latest round of Europa League fixtures, Michael Owen has offered his predictions of how the score from each match will end.
The second-leg fixtures in the Europa League semi-finals take place on Thursday, it’s time to find out who will be our finalists.
The ties are evenly balanced, promising some exciting match-ups between four title-chasing teams from the United Kingdom and Germany.
So for some Europa League predictions, we turned to former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen on BetVictor for his tips on the latest Europa League round.
⚽️ Rangers vs RB Leipzig (agg. 0-1)
Michael Owen’s score prediction: 1-1
“What a night this will be at Ibrox. Rangers weren’t at their best in Germany, but they did well to only lose by a goal. It was by no means a bad result, and this tie could go either way. Rangers will be desperate for Aaron Ramsey to be fit for this game.
“Leipzig are a strong side though and were worth the win in Germany. Rangers must be careful; I think Leipzig will be more dangerous on the break than when they dominate possession.
“I worry Rangers won’t quite have enough goals in them here. I’m leaning towards a 1-1 draw.”

⚽️ Eintracht Frankfurt vs West Ham (agg. 2-1)
Michael Owen’s score prediction: 1-1
“That was a frustrating night in London for West Ham last week. Frankfurt are an organised, hard-to-beat side though and they always looked a threat on the counter through the likes of Kostic and Kamada in particular. They knocked out Barcelona in the last round for a reason.
“West Ham will be looking for a similar away trip to the one in Lyon in the last round. They just didn’t threaten Frankfurt enough and the goals seem to have dried up in this side. Aside from Bowen, I worry where the goals are coming from.
“I’d love West Ham to go through, but I fear for them in Germany. Frankfurt have brilliant support, and this could be a frustrating night in Germany for them. I’m leaning towards a 1-1 draw.”
