Legia vs Rangers Prediction & Betting tips
Rangers is only 180 minutes away (plus a possible extension and penalty shootout series) from participating in the Europa League main tournament, but the Scots will first have to deal with the Polish top club Legia Warsaw. The first leg in the Polish Army Stadium in particular promises to be a hot night!
Legia Warsaw:
With, among other things, thirteen national titles and nineteen national cups, Legia Warsaw is one of the most successful clubs in Poland, but last season the capitals had to leave the national championship to the small Piast Gliwice. As a result, the team of coach Aleksandar Vukovic had to start in the preliminary rounds since mid-July. Legia Warsaw had no problems with European low-flyers such as Europe (Gibraltar), KuPS (Finland), and Atromitos (Greece), but the Scottish Rangers could be a bridge too far. The bookmakers certainly give the Poles little chance.
However, Thursday night Legia Warsaw could just be a surprise. Firstly, the more than 30,000 supporters always ensure a fantastic atmosphere, they are the ideal twelfth man. In addition, the Poles have a very solid defense, which this season did not have to allow a single goal in six European games. Also in the last five official duels, Legia Warsaw did not have to collect any goals. On the other hand, the team itself also scores hard, which means that it is already five loss points in the Polish Ekstraklasa after just four rounds. For goals you are usually at the wrong address with Legia Warsaw.
Rangers:
The season has only just begun, but the fans of Rangers could have a great year of football. Trainer Steven Gerrard lets the Scottish formation play excellent football, which provides a lot of spectacle. The preliminaries against St Joseph’s (Gibraltar) and Progres Niederkorn (Luxembourg) were basically refined exhibition games, but The Gers were seriously put to the test against the Danish Midtjylland. The Scottish vanguard, however, was deadly efficient, as both from (2-4) and at home (3-1) Rangers managed to win with ample figures. Also in the own Scottish Premier League the club from Glasgow shoots sharply. In just two competition duels, Rangers already scored eight times, and also the cup match against small East Fife last weekend yielded a simple 0-3 victory.
It goes without saying that Gerrard is very happy: ‘We are doing well. The mentality is excellent, and everyone is hungry for success. We are determined to maintain this form. ” The attackers Jermain Defoe and Alfredo Morelos in particular are in blood form. Achilles’ heel, however, is the defense, which in the last five official games only managed to keep the zero against the tiny East Fife.
