Rangers Preview – Can Rangers earn a 1st leg lead?

Rangers will hold home advantage first in this round of 16 Europa League tie against Bayer Leverkusen as the hosts look to take a lead into next week’s return leg in Germany, on the back of a 1-0 win away from home at Ross County in the Premiership on the weekend.

However, recent defeats to Hearts and Hamilton Academical makes this European tie against Bayer Leverkusen hang in the balance even though Rangers have performed well in this competition so far this season.

Rangers finished runners-up to Porto in Group G at the end of the group stages with a solid home record of 2-1-0 4/1 which included impressive wins against Porto and Feyenoord, as well as a 3-2 win over Braga in the previous round, while the bigger picture shows that the Scottish club are unbeaten in their last 17 home ties in the Europa League but they’ll be facing tough opposition in this round.

The return of striker Morelos (12 goals) to the starting eleven after suspension will be a big boost for Steven Gerrard’s side.

Our betting suggestion:
Over 2.5 goals
1.80

Bayer Leverkusen Preview – Can Leverkusen keep momentum going?

The Germans are firm favourites to progress into the next round of the Europa League at the expense of Rangers but the visitors do face a tough night in Scotland at a noisy Ibrox as they’ll look to weather the storm and finish the job in Germany next week – or at least that’s the plan.

Bayer Leverkusen look in better shape than their hosts as they’ve won 8 of their last 9 matches in all competitions which include wins away from home in the Bundesliga at Union Berlin 3-2, as well as a 3-1 win away from home at Portuguese club, Porto, in the previous round of the competition.

Goals usually feature when Bayer Leverkusen take to the filed and their recent matches have been no exception as all of their previous 6 away matches in all competitions have seen both teams score, along with 4 of Leverkusen’s last 5 away ties in the Europa League have also seen both teams hit the back of the net.
