Football prediction Glasgow Rangers / Union
The Rangers will play the second leg against Union St. Gilloise on August 9th. The meeting will take place at the Ibrox stadium. Given that the Belgians won 2-0 a week ago, we are in for the most heated confrontation!
Glasgow Rangers
Rangers quite unexpectedly lost to the Champions League debutant in the first meeting – 2:0. Perhaps the underestimation of the opponent affected. Otherwise, it is difficult for me to explain such a result, especially since the Scots just a couple of months ago played in the Europa League final (which best confirms their strength). I think that nothing has been lost for van Bronkhorst’s men. Surely they will go forward in their field and try to score. True, we must remember that for the past 9 matches in a row, within the Champions League, Glasgow Rangers cannot win (in regular time): 3 draws and 6 losses. Moreover, in the previous 23 games (in the Champions League) the team has only won 1 (8 draws and 14 losses).
The last time the Rangers scored more than one goal in the Champions League at Ibrox was back in 2007!
Union
Union a week ago played its first match in the Champions League. The debut turned out better than you can imagine. Teddy Teuma scored in the 27th minute. On the 76th scoring kick from the penalty spot, Dante Vanzeir scored. A 2-0 victory over the Europa League finalist is a great result. Now the Belgians can even afford to lose by 1 goal. They will still move on. If they lose by 2 goals, the match will go to extra time. It is obvious that Gerets’ wards are focused on performances in the Champions League. First of all, this is evidenced by the way they performed in the final round of the Belgian championship. On the road, a defeat from Mechelen with a score of 3: 0 was recorded.
Prediction and bet on the football Rangers – Union St. Giloise.
Despite the fact that Union won a week ago with a score of 0:2, the bookmaker is now still on the side of the Scots. In fact, this is logical, because they are quite an experienced team by the standards of European competition. Plus, there are a lot of players on the roster who have experience playing at the highest level. In addition, Union players will be under crazy pressure at Ibrox, for which they simply may not be ready.
My prediction. I’ll take a risk, but still, I’ll bet on victory Glasgow Rangers
