This is one of the toughest groups in the Europa League this season as any of the four teams could still qualify for the next round. Steven Gerard’s side could top the group at the end of this game and they could also be totally out of the competition as well depending on the outcomes of the two group games. However, the performance of the Gers so far has been way too good to think that they would not qualify for the next round. Despite needing to go through a very tough qualification phase, Rangers suffered their first European defeat of the season in their last match. While that was a major setback, they would be banking on home support to help them get another three points here. Villarreal were expected to qualify from this group as leaders when the draw was first made, but the Spaniards are having a less than impressive season at the moment. They come into this game in the 16th position in La Liga and needed a goal from their Nigerian prodigy, Samuel Chukwueze to see off Real Betis at the weekend. While their manager has been rotating his team heavily for the past few European games, we expect him to stick to a strong line up for this game.

Dynamo Zagreb have won all their games in this competition so far and they would be looking to keep that run going here. However, the hosts need just a point to secure qualification to the next round, so they would be confident that they can achieve that on their home turf heading into this game. The Home side have had more joy playing at home in this competition so far as they have scored 4 times and conceded none. The visitors would feel they have no reason to go all out for the win especially as they would be playing their last group game at home. Dynamo Zagreb need just a point to secure top spot as they have already qualified for the next round. They can afford to field a weaker team or play at low intensity, however, we expect them to know that in football, the job is not done until it is well and truly done. Zagreb have showed that they are the best team in this group as they have beaten all comers in this group and if they maintain that level of competitiveness, then they might end this game as winners again. This will be just the second renewal of this fixture. When the teams met earlier in the campaign, Dinamo won by four goals to one.

Celtic earned an impressive win in their last Europa League game against RB Leipzig and they would be looking to build on that here. The Hoops would have been eliminated from Europe if they had lost to the impressive Germans but they dug deep and earned a deserved 2-1 win. The Scottish champions have been  unbeaten since that game and faced tough games on artificial turf against Livingston and Hamilton, yet they came out tops. They would be back on grass for this game and their fans would be expecting them to continue their impressive head to head record against their Norwegian hosts. Rosenborg have suffered a hit to their confidence since they were beaten 5-2 by RB Salzburg at home in their last Europa League game. They were on a three games winning run before that match but they have scored just a goal and won only one match in the two games that followed that defeat. It is also not good reading to say that their opponents in these games have been outside the Norwegian top ten, so they would need to get their confidence up to get a result here.
