Rangers News and Form

It is all to play for in this one with Rangers trailing leaders Villarreal by a point. The Gers were on an eleven match unbeaten streak of European form under Steven Gerrard before a 4-3 loss against Spartak Moscow on matchday four. Rangers took the lead three times in that game. There is no way on Thursday night that Rangers will be able to book a qualification spot, but they can set themselves up for a strong assault on matchday six with a good result in this one. Rangers performed very well in a 2-2 draw at Villareal on matchday one, fighting back twice to get the point.

This is their first ever Europa League group stage campaign and their first European campaign in six years. They are unbeaten in eight European home games with a W5 D3 record. They can blow the group wide open with a home victory in this one. Both teams to score is at 8/13 odds* (betting odds taken on November 27th, 2018 at 9:38 pm). So far at home in the group they beat Rapid Vienna 3-0 before a 0-0 draw with Spartak. The Gers have won just three of 23 previous matches against Spanish clubs, all three wins coming at Ibrox. Rangers are D4 L2 in their last six home games against Spanish sides though.

Villarreal News and Form

Villarreal are not having a great season in the Spanish top flight, struggling badly for goals. They are top of the Europa League group though and have lost just once in seven matches against Scottish sides, but have never won a game in Scotland before. Their most recent visit to Scotland ended in a 2-0 at Celtic in the 2008/9 Champions League. Villarreal have finished in the top two in each of their previous seven Europa League campaign.

They are unbeaten in ten away games in the Europa League group stage (W3 D7). That is a lot of drawn games and the 1-1 correct score option in this is at 11/2 odds* (betting odds taken on November 27th, 2018 at 9:38 pm). Villarreal have drawn their two away games in the group s so far, a 3-3 at Spartak and a 0-0 at Rapid. No team has played more Europa League games or scored more goals in the competition (not including qualifying) than Villarreal have. A win in this one and they win the group.

Rangers v Villarreal Predictions

Draw: We can’t look past the draw for our Rangers v Villarreal prediction, which does keep things wide open in the group. Villarreal are a tough side to beat but the Spaniards may not have enough to find the winning touch on the road. Draw.
