“is “50/50” to play in the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano next week”
MISLEADING
While the evidence confirms Glasner said it is '50/50' for the final in Leipzig, the claim states the final is against 'Rayo Vallecano'. The evidence does not mention Rayo Vallecano, and the Conference League final is a neutral venue event in Leipzig, not a specific match against Rayo Vallecano mentioned in the provided text.
