Scottish giants Rangers had to come from behind to avoid defeat to Slavia Prague in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 clash in Prague last week. After the 1-1 draw it is Rangers’ turn to host and they will be hoping to continue with their impressive season, having already secured the Premiership title. Rangers are unbeaten in 16 matches going to this game, and have only lost once in the last 43 matches. In the Premiership, they’ve been so good defensively but not in Europa League. In Europe, both teams have scored in six of their last seven matches. In the last nine Europa League matches, Rangers have won six and they’ve conceded two or more goals in five of the last nine. They have four wins in five home matches in Europa League but have conceded at least two goals in each of the last three. Rangers have scored 13 goals, and conceded seven in their last five Europa League matches at home.

Slavia Prague have also had a good season so far, and go to this game with an 18-match unbeaten run – two more than Rangers. However, they have the same defensive issues as Rangers, with just one clean sheet in the last five matches. The Czech side eliminated Leicester City in the last round, which makes for their highest point in the competition this season. Heading to Glasgow with three straight away wins and the fact that they are unbeaten in eight away games will boost Slavia Prague’s confidence. They’ve lost just once in the last eight Europa League matches, winning five in there. However, only one win has come in the last four – against Leicester City. Some improvement in their away run in this competition will still be needed for them to see off this Rangers side. In the last five Europa League away matches, Slavia Prague have lost three. They’ve conceded 12 goals in the last five away Europa League matches and scored nine goals.
