Rangers vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Prediction published on 06/08/2022, 15:09  by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions

Scottish giants Rangers risk missing another season ion the Champions League after their first leg loss to Union Saint-Gilloise in the third qualifying round. Rangers host the return leg with their work cut out after a 2-0 defeat in the opening clash of the tie. Rangers warmed up for this game with a 2-0 win over Kilmarnock in the Premiership and will feel they can overturn this. The hosts have scored in all but one of their last five matches but go into this one with just one clean sheet. That will be their main concern, especially given they are trailing in this tie. Three times in the last five matches, Rangers have scored two or more goals and three of the five matches have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Union Saint-Gilloise go into this game unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions. Their 2-0 win over Rangers was the second straight clean sheet and third in their last four matches. They will hope to extend the same here but will have to be at their best for this, given Rangers have done well at home in recent games. While Union Saint-Gilloise have scored in each of their last five matches, they’ve managed more than a goal in just two of them. Four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. The win over Rangers in the first leg was their first ever Champions League game, so they are relatively inexperienced in this competition.
