Midtjylland vs Rangers Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and prediction

Rangers travel to Denmark to face Midtjylland in the first-leg of their Europa League qualifying tie on Thursday night.

Steven Gerrard's men came through comfortably against Progres Niederkorn in the previous round, winning 2-0 on aggregate.

However, the former England midfielder was left unimpressed by his side's performance in the 0-0 draw against Progres in Luxembourg last week and will surely demand a much-improved performance from his men in Denmark.

Latest odds

Midtyjlland are available at 13/10 (2.30) with bet365 to make home advantage count against the Gers on Thursday. The Scottish side are considered a 15/8 (2.88) chance to take a first-leg lead back to Ibrox.

The odds compilers offer 11/5 (3.20) that these two teams play out a draw to leave the tie perfectly in the balance.

Team news

Jermain Defoe led the line for Rangers in Luxembourg last week. Alfredo Morelos, though, is expected to replace the veteran striker for the trip to Denmark with Gerrard's men likely to be at full-strength for this tie.

Preview

Awer Mabil Midtjylland

Midtjylland have enjoyed a fine start to their domestic season, winning each of their first four league matches. Kenneth Andersen's men, therefore, will come into this clash filled with confidence.

The Danes have found the net in all but one of their last 12 matches in this competition. Furthermore, in no fewer than 10 of those dozen matches, Midtjylland have scored at least twice.

As such, bet365's 6/5 (2.20) quote for the hosts to score more than once could well prove popular with punters.

Prediction

However, the home side's defensive record in this competition offers hope for the Gers. Midtjylland have managed just one clean sheet in their last 15 Europa League ties and Rangers will feel that, if they are able to secure an away goal, it could stand them in good stead.

As such, Thursday's tie has the potential to be an open and entertaining contest and so the 5/4 (2.25) quote from bet365 for at least three goals could prove profitable for punters.

Odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
