Rangers vs Midtjylland Prediction & Betting tips
The Glasgow Rangers in the lower class? There was something. Right: Due to financial difficulties and imminent bankruptcy Rangers had to vacate the field in 2012 in the highest Scottish league and hired in the fourth league. At that time, these were big headlines that went through the international press.
However, they seem to have forgotten for a long time, because for three years now the Glasgow Rangers are back in the Beletage of Scottish football and are now in their fourth season in the Premiership since their return. For a title it was not enough at that time yet and above all the appearances on European stage are still miles away from the glitz of old days.
In this season, the Rangers want to establish themselves on the international stage again something more. The entry into the group phase of the Europa League is the minimum goal. On the way there, however, it is first and foremost to turn off FC Midtjylland.
After the Scots have clearly won the first leg away, hardly anyone believes that the Gers will not reach the playoffs. Also in the second leg between the Rangers and Midtjylland Glasgow, the prognosis is in the direction of a victory of teddy bears, as the players are affectionately called.
Glasgow Rangers:
Two third places, last season’s runners-up and five semi-finals in the Scottish FA Cup and League Cup – that’s the record of the Glasgow Rangers from the last three seasons in which they played again in the Premiership.
Were in the first season since the resumption 33 points, the Glasgow Rangers had in the final bill behind city rivals Celtic Glasgow, the gap was in the season 2017/2018 thirteen points and in the preseason “only” nine points. The Glasgow Rangers stalk slowly back to the arch rival.
In this Premiership season, the Rangers started furiously in the national championship and had a 2-1 victory at the start of last third Kilmarnock last weekend a 6-1 against Hibernian FC follow. Six points, 8-2 goals, that must mean first place in the table. But not when playing in a league with Celtic Glasgow, who after two games have two wins and a goal difference of 12: 2.
Nevertheless, coach Steven Gerrard is satisfied with the young season. In qualifying for the Europa League his Glasgow Rangers had from the first round to ran and held against St. Joseph’s FC from Gibraltar (4-0 and 6-0) and the FC Progres Niederkorn from Luxembourg (2: 0 and 0: 0) without damage and especially without conceding.
With Niederkorn Glasgow Rangers also defeated a kind of curse: In the first round of qualifying in the 2017/2018 season, the Scots had sensationally failed in the underdog – despite a 1-0 success in the first leg at home. Against Midtjylland there were the first two goals on European soil in the first leg of this season, but speaks the 4-2 victory of the Scots in Denmark for the Gers.
The bookmakers are no longer in the lead between the Rangers and Midtjylland Rangers and Glasgow. Since a feasible opponent is waiting in the possible playoffs with Legia Warsaw from Poland or Atromitos from Greece, the chances of reaching the group stage are not bad.
Jermanin Defoe hopes for a bet on Thursday. The now 36-year-old Englishman, who celebrated his greatest successes at Tottenham, was the outstanding man over the weekend, scoring three goals against Hibernian 6-1. On the other hand, Graham Dorrans and Jamie Murphy will certainly fail, but Gerrard will not play too much anyway.
The first use of the most expensive new entry Filip Helander still seems questionable. In Glasgow Rangers’ game against Midtjylland, odds for a home-winning tip are pretty decent, especially considering the result from the first leg.
Midtjylland:
The Danish runner-up and cup winner Midtjylland put in the domestic Superliga seemingly a dream start. The first four games in the league Midtjylland could win all. A closer look revealed, however, even before the first leg against the Rangers Rangers, that the Danes in a direct comparison would probably not be able to survive.
The results in the first four league games were not only all minimalist (three times 1: 0, once 2: 1), they were partly very happy. In three of the four games, the winning goal fell in the 88th minute or later, once by penalty.
Midtjylland profited in these games, especially from the inefficiency of the opponents, some of which had a significant increase in opportunities. On the other hand, the runner-up exploited his options icy cold. With the Rangers Rangers, however, came another caliber in the MCH Arena, which used his chances better than the previous opponents.
Although the first leg was a duel at eye level, in which the Danes even had a slight playful overweight, but four of the Rangers five shots on the gate Midtjyllands were then also in it.
The triumph at the national level did not detract from this bankruptcy, because Midtjylland was able to win the fifth league game away at Horsens 2-0 last weekend. The reward after five matchdays: 15 points, 7: 1 goals and second place behind champions FC Copenhagen.
With just over six million euros invested Midtjylland 1.5 million euros more in new players than the upcoming opponent. At least the purchases of Evander and Sory Kaba proved to be lucky. They both scored five of Midtjylland’s seven league goals so far, while Kaba scored in the first leg against Rangers.
On European stage Midtjylland celebrated its greatest success in the 2015/2016 season, when the club also reached the semi-finals when they first reached the group stage of the Europa League, where they lost to Manchester United.
As a result, Midtjylland failed three times in a row in the playoffs for Europa League. This year the terminus is likely to arrive earlier. In the last few days, in the game between the Rangers and Midtjylland Glasgow, the odds for a tip on the Danes have increased at least once again.
