Slavia Prague vs Rangers Prediction & Betting tips
Sure, there are big names that meet in this round of 16 of the Europa League, but one of the top games is definitely the duel between Slavia Prague and Glasgow Rangers. Both teams are in excellent shape and the best bookmakers have this pairing completely open.
The Rangers will travel to the Czech capital on Thursday to add the icing to the celebrated weekend. For the first time since 2011 and many downfalls with the insolvency and the rebuilding in lower class leagues, the Scots have become national champions again. The liberation is enormous and maybe Steven Gerrard’s team is now rocking the Europa League.
With Slavia Prague, however, there is an opponent who is also in great shape and who has had a terrific campaign in the European Cup. After all, the Czechs eliminated Leicester City in the last round. The bottom line is that anything can happen in this encounter and that is why we would not give a prediction of who will make it to the quarter-finals before the first leg between Slavia Prague and Glasgow Rangers.
Slavia Prague :
Slavia Prague is playing an almost perfect season at the moment. In the table of the national league, Jindrich Trpisovsky’s team is at the top with 14 points ahead of their local rivals Sparta, but they already have two more games to play. Nevertheless, there shouldn’t be much in the way of defending the title and the fourth championship in five years.
Slavia is in the quarter-finals of the Czech Cup and still has the chance to go far in the Europa League. The Czechs are particularly strong at home. The last home defeat in a competitive game was in the Champions League against Inter Milan in November 2019. That doesn’t sound like the odds of a guest win in the match between Slavia Prague and Glasgow Rangers.
Overall, Slavia has been unbeaten in 16 games and took their fourth win in a row at the weekend. At home there was a difficult 2: 1 against Banik Ostrava.
It is conceivable that Jindrich Trpisovsky will send the same formation onto the field that won 2-0 in Leicester. Striker Stanislav Tecl, who was absent from the King Power Stadium, is now fit again and has shown his good form with four goals in the 10-3 victory in the cup. He’s certainly an option for the starting lineup too. Hovorka, Sevcik and Ibrahim Traore are absent.
Glasgow Rangers :
The Scots will not lack a professional attitude. Nevertheless, we assume that one or two cold drinks will have flowed after the first championship in ten years. The Rangers should be fit and relaxed again by Thursday, because the next tasks are already waiting. There are still other trophies to be won with which Steven Gerrard can position himself to succeed Jurgen Klopp in Liverpool.
Overall, the Reds legend formed an outstanding team in Glasgow. The Rangers have only suffered one defeat in their last 44 games. That in turn would mean that between Slavia Prague and the Glasgow Rangers a prediction of a home win is also very daring. The tested bookmakers expect, according to the quotes, more likely a draw.
Last Saturday the Gers did their homework and clearly won their game against St. Mirren 3-0 at home. Kent, Morelos and Ianis Hagi scored the goals. This paved the way to the title. After Celtic’s draw, the championship was wrapped up. The focus is now clearly on the Europa League.
