Group G is the tightest in the Europa League so far, as there is no favorite to advance to the next stage, with the top and bottom sides in the group separated by two points while the third and second placed sides are tied on five points. Rangers have a +1 goal difference over Spartak Moscow’s -1 but by having lost to the Russian side, they remain third, with the teams tied on points. Rangers and Villarreal battled to a 2 – 2 draw in Spain and it will be a real battle in Glasgow on Thursday. The Spanish side has not had the best season so far and sits just three points above the relegation zone in La Liga while Rangers are firmly in the title race as they sit second on the Scottish log with 27 points, two behind leaders Celtic. While Villarreal have a win in the last six matches, Rangers have posted three wins in the last five and they will be happy also to have home advantage as they welcome the Spanish side as Rangers have not lost at home in the last 19 matches across all competitions. The Scottish side lost 4 – 3 to Spartak Moscow in their last game in the Europa League – their only loss in 12 matches in the competition – but they have a great home record in the competition to look up to; they have not lost in the last eight at home, with five wins and three draws. Villarreal are unbeaten in five matches, having picked four draws and a win and the same is more or less their run in the Europa League – three draws and a win in the last four. Villarreal have managed four wins in the last 15 away Europa League matches which will not resonate so well with them in Glasgow.
