There will be fireworks when Rangers and Benfica square off against each other at Ibrox Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter.
Rangers have been impressive in the national championship this season, and, as things stand now, they are on the right track to put an end to Celtic’s dominance in the Premier League. Steven Gerrard’s troops are leading the standings in the Europa League Group D as well, and a win over Benfica will see them move one step closer to booking their place in the knockout stages.
Their most recent results highlight the fact that not much more can be done by the Rangers rearguard. The Gers have given the opposition little, seeing the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their past 6 outings standing at 3. Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Rangers boss Steven Gerrard to be concerned with the form of an almost fully healthy squad. Nikola Katic is sidelined.
The Eagles, on the other hand, did well to come from two goals behind to share the spoils with Rangers in Lisbon, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Former Man City defender Nicolas Otamendi is out of contention through suspension. In as many as 5 out of the previous 6 games involving Benfica, a minimum of three goals have gone in.
The average goals scored per match in that time is 4.17, with the number of goals averaged by Benfica equalling 2.33. Even so, we must now wait to see if such a trend will persist in this match or not. Benfica boss Jorge Jesus has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Adel Taarabt, Darwin Núñez, Pedrinho, André Almeida, Jean-Clair Todibo, Nuno Tavares, and Julian Weigl are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Nicolás Otamendi cannot play in this game through suspension.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
