Rangers Preview – Can Rangers maintain impressive run?
Mid-September seems a long time ago now but that was when Rangers started their new season which has seen the ‘Gers unbeaten within their total of 15 matches to date in all competitions which includes progressing through the qualifying rounds of the Europa League to reach the group stage of this competition.
Victories over Lincoln Red Imps, Willem II and Galatasaray saw Steven Gerard’s side into the main competition where they’ve continued their impressive start to the campaign by picking up wins against Standard Liege and Lech Poznan along with holding Portuguese giants, Benfica, to a 3-3 draw away from home on Matchday 3.
In addition, Rangers have won all seven of their home matches on the trot in all competitions while also keeping six clean sheets in the process too, so Rangers will be confident that they can take something from this upcoming clash at Ibrox on Thursday night.
Benfica Preview – Can Benfica maintain gap over rivals?
2nd placed Benfica will also be in confident mood that they can maintain their unbeaten start to this season’s Europa League group stages as the Portuguese outfit have registered wins against Lech Poznan and Standard Liege along with the aforementioned 3-3 draw with Rangers.
However, maybe the first signs of cracks starting to appear at Benfica have become evident as the visitors have picked up just one win from their last four matches in all competitions which includes defeats on the domestic front against Boavista and Sporting Braga in the Primeira Liga, while scraping past Paredes 1-0 in the Taca de Portugal last time out.
Benfica have also lost three of their last 4 away ties in the Europa League following defeats at Dinamo Zagreb, Eintracht Frankfurt and Shakhtar Donetsk, while this season saw them win 4-2 at Polish outfit, Lech Poznan.
