Rangers vs Legia Prediction & Betting tips
In the battle for a ticket for the Europa League main tournament, Rangers and Legia Warsaw are directly opposite each other. The first leg on Polish soil did not result in any goals, so the return to Ibrox is a real finale for both teams in all respects!
Rangers:
Rangers was unable to score in Warsaw last week, but was certainly not allowed to complain about the result despite the absence of an important away goal. Rangers had the most ball possession and should have scored via Alfredo Morelos, but goalkeeper Allan McGregor was also regularly put to work. Given the many chances over and over again, it was a small miracle that the first match ended in a scoreless draw.
In the return, therefore, Rangers must be careful, because in the event of a hit, the Scots will have to score at least twice. The men of coach Steven Gerrard can in any case rely on their excellent home balance, as they have so far won all four of their official home duels. However, the upcoming home game is of vital importance, because a season without European football would of course be a huge disappointment for The Gers. Earlier this week, Gerrard called on supporters to make the stadium swirl: “I hope for a jumping and rocking Ibrox. Hopefully we can win the Europa League qualification with the support of our supporters. ” The blue shirts are full of confidence, although the upcoming two duels determine the course of the rest of the season. After the squatter against Legia Warsaw, the always-laden Old Firm against arch-rival Celtic is on the program this weekend in their own country. If Rangers are able to win both games, Gerrard will not be able to play in the blue part of Glasgow for the time being, but if he loses both duels, it could well be the start of a sporting crisis.
Legia Warsaw:
Just like Rangers, Legia Warsaw could also live with last week’s 0-0 tie. The Polish top club would of course have preferred to win, but keeping the zero at home in a European knockout match is just as important in today’s top football. If the Poles manage to open the score on Thursday-evening, they are very close to participating in the Europa League, as Rangers would have to score at least twice. However, coach Aleksandar Vukovic did not want to think about such a scenario: ‘The return in Glasgow is like a final. We are going to train extra on taking penalties, since it could well turn out to happen. ‘
The fact that Legia Warsaw has trained extra on its penalties is understandable, because the team must mainly rely on its strong rear. In its seven European duels, it didn’t even have to allow a single hit. However, scoring is going a lot harder for the Poles, especially now that attacker Carlitos Lopez also seems to be on his way to the exit. The Spanish waltz thief can sign a lucrative contract in the desert, although Legia Warsaw does not want to let him go for the time being. “As long as he’s under contract with us, I’m just counting on him,” Vukovic said. “I would like to emphasize that there are no problems between him and me.” Nevertheless, he fell at the last minute for the away match against LSK Lodz (2-3 wins) due to personal circumstances outside the match selection.
