Rangers Preview – Can Rangers extend impressive run?
It would be no exaggeration to say that the arrival of manager, Steven Gerrard, has helped transform the fortunes of Rangers as the hosts head into this Europa League 2nd leg on the back of an impressive 14-match unbeaten run in all competitions which include their 1st leg 4-3 win away at Antwerp last week.
12 wins out of these last 14 matches overall underline Rangers’ dominance not only on the domestic front in the Scottish Premiership where they hold a commanding 18-point lead over their arch-rivals, Celtic, but also on the European stage as the Scottish title-holders in waiting also remained undefeated in their group campaign.
Rangers finished top of Group D with four wins and two draws while the bigger picture shows that the Gers are unbeaten in their last 10 ties overall; they’ve also lost just once in their last 22 Europa League ties at home.
Antwerp Preview – Can Antwerp break drought?
Well, not exactly a drought as such but Antwerp will be keen to put an end to their four-match spell without a win in all competitions which includes last week’s 1st leg 4-3 loss at home to their Scottish counterparts along with a 3-1 loss away at Club Brugge in the Belgian cup.
Prior to this mini-slump, Antwerp had racked up four wins on the trot with First Division A wins against Eupen, Waasland-Beveren and Beerschot along with a cup win over La Louviere, but success on the Europa League stage has been sporadic.
Five wins out of their 11 ties played to date is okay while results away from home have been mixed with Antwerp winning two, drawing one and losing two on their travels in what is a limited pedigree at this level.
