Rangers vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips (12 December)

Glasgow Rangers have only been beaten by Lyon 1-4 in this league stage. Otherwise hung once 1-1 at Olympiakos and victorious in 3 matches including two weeks ago with a river score in Nice 1-4, they occupy 8th place in the ranking, which makes them the last club virtually qualified directly for the round of 16. The Scottish football giant has been going through a prolific period since their success at Nice. He defeated St. Johnstone 0-1 and Kilmarnock 6-0 before visiting Ross County on Sunday in the Premiership, the name given to the Scottish championship. Rangers, 3rd in the national rankings, are left behind in the title race by their eternal rival, Celtic, on whom they are 11 points behind.

 3 wins, a draw and a defeat also make up Tottenham's record in the Europa League . However, its goal difference, unfavorable compared to that of Rangers, makes the London club 9th in the ranking. The Spurs started their campaign with a bang, with 3 wins, but saw points slip away from them when the level rose during their last duels, against Galatasaray at the beginning of November, 3-2 defeat, and at home against AS Roma 2 -2 two weeks ago. As for the national scene, the team led by Ange Postecoglou is not in its place. Only 10th in the Premier League, it was held to a draw by Fulham 1-1, fell to Bournemouth 1-0 last midweek and hosted Chelsea on Sunday. 

Philippe Clement's Rangers appear this Thursday without the offensive Matondo (2 goals in the league), injured and not qualified for the competition. The offensive Cortes, on loan from Lens and who has only played 3 matches since this summer with the Scottish club, should also abstain like, a priori, the important midfielder Lawrence, author of 5 goals including 2 in Europa League. Secondary right-back Kasanwirjo, already out of Nice, should complete the list of absentees for this match on the 6th day. Scorers in Nice, Cerny and Igamane are struggling in C3 with 3 goals each in this table. The Nigerian Dessers (12 goals in all competitions), midfielder Bajrami and the speedy right-back and captain Tavernier (5 assists in all competitions) undeniably make up the backbone of their team. Tottenham travel to Scotland without their starting goalkeeper Vicario, injured in an ankle.

He will a priori be replaced by Forster, already lined up for the last 3 Europa League matches. The executive central defenders Romero and van de Ven, the Brazilian international Richarlison not spared by injuries, the French offensive Odobert (no goals) and the young winger Moore (17 years old) are also likely to be absent. Scorer in the draw against AS Roma, Johnson scored 3 goals in the Europa League, bringing his total of goals in all competitions to 10 units. Less decisive than their teammate, Son and Solanke also have their importance in the offensive sector. Young striker Lankshear returns from suspension from last day.
