Progres Niederkorn vs Rangers Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Rangers travel to Luxembourg to face Progres Niederkorn in Europa League qualifying on Thursday night.  

It is a trip that is sure to bring back painful memories for Rangers and their supporters. Two years ago, the Gers surrendered a 1-0 first-leg lead in Luxembourg, losing 2-0 against the same opponents.

On this occasion, Steven Gerrard's men are protecting a 2-0 advantage. Despite missing a number of chances at Ibrox last week, the Scots will hope that their lead is more than sufficient.

Latest odds

888Sport offer just 1/4 (1.25) that Rangers take their revenge with victory in Luxembourg. Progres are available at 8/1 (9.0) to win on home soil.

A draw, of course, would be good enough to send the Scots through and the odds compilers offer 5/1 (6.0) that Thursday's tie ends in stalemate.

Team news

Joe Aribo has scored on both of his two competitive starts for Rangers thus far and the former Charlton Athletic midfielder will be aiming for a third successive start - and goal - in Luxembourg.

Alfredo Morelos is expected to spearhead the visitors' attack, although Gerrard could opt to afford the Colombian a breather ahead of Sunday's Scottish Premiership opener at Kilmarnock, meaning Jermain Defoe could deputise in attack.

Preview

Rangers scored in both halves in last week's first-leg tie at Ibrox last week and the Gers are available at 49/50 (1.98) to repeat that feat on Thursday night. The odds compilers offer 17/10 (2.70) that the visitors win both halves.

Prediction

It is not just in attack, though, that Rangers look strong. Gerrard's men have yet to concede a Europa League goal thus far this term.

Progres will have to score at least twice if they are to turn this tie around, but could have their work cut out as Gerrard's men have conceded more than once in just one of their last 10 competitive matches.

Value, therefore, could lie in backing the visitors to win to nil at 17/20 (1.85) in Luxembourg. It is a selection that would have landed in 11 of Rangers' last 12 competitive victories.
