Who will get the better starting position?
The time has come, the playoff matches for participation in the Uefa Champions League are on the program. Some traditional clubs are taking part, exciting duels are virtually pre-programmed. Also in Glasgow it goes to the point on Tuesday.
The Glasgow Rangers vs. PSV Eindhoven prediction of the bookmakers indicates a favorite role for the guests, which, however, is honestly not completely clear. Both are too similar in the individual structure and the home advantage can be too essential especially in Scotland.
It could be an exciting, emotionally charged game. Rangers have qualities, PSV too – and both bring confidence. Therefore, our Glasgow Rangers vs. PSV Eindhoven tip is that both teams will score.
Glasgow Rangers – statistics & current form
Glasgow Rangers from Scotland are looking to qualify for the Champions League. At home in Ibrox Stadium, the team is counting on the great atmosphere that prevails there. The Scots have quality in their squad, even though one or two players like Tillman were released in the summer. Kent, Morelos and Sakala also left the club. At the same time, the club also made additions on the transfer market.
Dessers, Lammers, Danilo, Sima, Cifuentes: The Rangers have strengthened themselves quite properly. Coach Michael Beale wants to try to challenge Celtic for the top spot in the league this season, but one of the first two games in the league was lost. At the weekend, however, Rangers celebrated a 2-1 victory over Morton in the League Cup.
Only one of the last ten games Glasgow Rangers lost season-wide. This shows that the team has good basic stability. In the last qualifying round, Servette were eliminated from Geneva, but it was a very close game at 2:1/1:1. A close game seems likely against PSV as well.
Glasgow Rangers look to capitalize on home strength
At home, Rangers are usually on a very good level on the road. The fact that Glasgow Rangers vs PSV Eindhoven odds nevertheless suggest a slight favorite role for the visiting team is rather due to the high quality that the team from the Netherlands brings. However, there are definitely ways and means for the Rangers to get a good result.
To illustrate the home strength: The team did not lose any of the 16 league games in front of a home crowd in the regular season. They even won 14 of those games. That speaks for itself and shows how well the home side is prepared for this game.
However, a few elements still need to be found on the pitch. The coordination is not always right yet, which is why our prediction before the match between Glasgow Rangers and PSV Eindhoven is that both teams will score.
Predicted lineup of Glasgow Rangers:
Butland – Tavernier, Goldson, Davies, Barisic – Kamara, Cifuentes, Raskin – Hagi, Matondo, Danilo
PSV Eindhoven – Statistics & current form
PSV Eindhoven is planning the big attack this season and participation in the Champions League would make it even more likely. Coach Peter Bosz’s team is showing early on that they will use the style of play typical of this coach. That is to say that there is a high start and high risk, the balance is secondary for now, at least in some phases.
There was a 3-1 win at Vitesse at the weekend that highlighted exactly this approach. Bosz soccer is crucial for Glasgow Rangers vs PSV Eindhoven betting odds to show that it is quite realistic that there will be a lot of goals in this match. In any case, the Dutch already bring a broad chest with them, because the last weeks and months have been outstanding.
They have won 14 of their last 15 games, and have won all five games in the new season, including the Supercup against Feyenoord Rotterdam. There were also two wins against Sturm Graz in the 3rd qualifying round, with 4-1 and 3-1 wins over the Austrians.
PSV Eindhoven hopes for good result
Based on the first impressions, it already seems clear that PSV makes the more consolidated impression of the two clubs and is already a step ahead. Nevertheless, this is no guarantee to perform accordingly in the noisy Ibrox Stadium. Bosz’s eleven will need their best possible performance to get a good result.
It will be important to put the offense in the spotlight. Players like de Jong, Bakayoko, Lang, and Tillman bring a lot of quality to the table, and the Dutch are also well-staffed across the board and even have an essential advantage over the Scots here. Especially over the course of two games, this can be an important factor.
In any case, the guests are well prepared for this match. For this reason, before the match Glasgow Rangers vs PSV Eindhoven, our value tip is also that the guests will not lose and will score over 1.5 goals.
Predicted lineup of PSV Eindhoven:
Benitez – Teze, Boscagli, Ramalho, van Aanholt – Sangaré, Schouten, Veerman – Lang, Bakayoko, de Jong
