Rangers vs Fenerbahce Predictions

A fascinating tie should see plenty of goal-scoring action at Ibrox.

I'm putting my money on BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored in Glasgow.

Stats

Rangers have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 10 matches
Rangers have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches (Europa League)
Fenerbahce have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches
Fenerbahce have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in their last 4 away matches (Europa League)

Head to Head

Rangers and Fenerbahce will meet for the fourth time on Thursday. Both teams won one of three previous encounters, with the Gers comfortable 3-1 victors in last week's first-leg in Istanbul.

Rangers Form

Rangers return to Ibrox after their sensational first-leg victory in Istanbul. An impressive display of counter-attacking football saw the Gers claim a 3-1 triumph despite having two goals ruled out by VAR interventions.

Barry Ferguson's up-and-down side have won three and lost three of six games played across the past month. The Gers defensive vulnerabilities have resulted in several high-scoring outcomes in recent weeks. Nineteen goals were scored in their last five fixtures.

A superb record in home Europa League (UEL) matches should prove comforting for Ferguson as he faces his fourth fixture in the Rangers hot seat. The Glasgow giants are unbeaten in 35 of their last 40 UEL games in Glasgow.

Rangers Team News

Rangers boss Ferguson is set to make just one alteration to his first XI on Thursday. Robin Propper will miss out after suffering a nasty head injury in last week's first-leg victory. Leon Balogun will deputise in the Gers expected five man defence.

Cyriel Dessers will continue to spearhead the Rangers attack after a superb display saw him score and assist in Istanbul.

Fenerbahce Form

Fenerbahce arrive in Glasgow looking to overturn last week's two-goal defeat at the Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe. The Canaries had enjoyed an 18-game unbeaten run before last Thursday's surprise home reversal.

Jose Mourinho's side have been somewhat inconsistent in their continental performances this season. Fenerbahce won three and lost three of 11 Europa Leagues played since September.

On the road, the Canaries have failed to win four of their last five away UEL fixtures. All five matches saw BTTS, with an average of 3.4 goals scored per game.

Fenerbahce Team News

Head coach Mourinho is likely to make changes to his selection after an ineffective first-leg performance last Thursday. Fred should return to the first XI after serving a one-match ban.

Jayden Oosterwolde, Rodrigo Becão, Diego Carlos, Levent Mercan and Çağlar Söyüncü are expected to miss out due to various injury issues.

Verdict

Rangers v Fenerbahce

Rangers should get the job done in a likely high-scoring encounter at Ibrox.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals is my NAP selection this week.
