Rangers are set to take on Benfica at Ibrox in the Europa League matchday 4 on Thursday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CET.
Preview
Both sides are level on points (7) in the EL Group D after their mind-blowing 3-3 draw in Lisbon in early November. It would be fair to say that Steven Gerrard's men were unlucky to lose a two-goal lead against a 10-man Benfica back then.
As for their current form, the Scots remain unbeaten in the 2020/21 season after 22 games across all competitions and won their latest two Scottish Premiership matches with an over result of 12-0.
Benfica, on the other hand, lost to Braga in the league and beat Paredes in the Portuguese Cup since drawing Rangers three weeks ago.
Gerrard has little selection dilemmas ahead of the encounter as Nikola Katic remains the only injury absentee in his squad.
Jorge Jesus, in turn, will be without Nicolas Otamendi, who serves his suspension after being sent-off in the previous clash with the Scots. Julian Weigl, Darwin Nunez and Abel Taarabt will also miss their side's trip to Glasgow after testing positive for Covid-19. Jean-Clair Todibo, Nuno Taveres, Pedrinho and Andre Almeida, meanwhile, remain unavailable for Benfica through injuries.
Prediction
What else if not goals should one expect from this clash after a 3-3 draw between the clubs at the Estadio da Luz? Considering all the absentees in Benfica's squad, we'd say that Rangers are likely to extend their unbeaten streak to 23 matches on Thursday.
Tip
Rangers to win or draw and both teams to score at 2 with 1XBET.
