Rangers managed to stop their losing run, with a resounding 5-0 win over Dunfermline Athletic in the League Cup in their last game. Serious business resumes when they get to host Armenian side, Alashkert in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off. After a fine run last season, Rangers have already shown signs of struggling to cope this season, and going to this game, they have three losses in four matches. They responded to the three back to back losses with a huge win over Dunfermline and while they will be happy at their scoring returns, their defending has left a lot to be desired. Rangers have two clean sheets in the last five matches and have conceded two or more goals in two of their last five matches. They’ve scored 10 goals in the last five matches and conceded five; back to back losses to Malmo in the Champions League is the reason the Scottish champs are in the Europa League. A better run at home offers hopes for a good outing here, having won three and lost just one of their last five and with three clean sheets. They’ve scored two or more goals in three of their last four home matches and four of their last five home matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Alashkert on their part, take to this game a run of three losses and just one win in their last five matches. In those five matches, they’ve been really poor defensively, keeping just one clean sheet while conceding two or more goals in four of the last five. They’ve failed to score in three of their last five matches, and three of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The Armenian side was initially in the Champions League but was dumped out by Sheriff, and dropped to Europa League. In the last round of this competition, they beat Kairat Almaty 3-2 on aggregate. Away from home, Alashkert are winless in the last three, and have two clean sheets in six.
