Benfica vs Rangers Prediction: Will the Portuguese team be in trouble again?

Prediction for the UEFA Europe League match which will take place on March 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Benfica

The Lisbon side started their current European campaign in the Champions League group stage, where they almost failed, only to snatch third place in the quartet from Austria's Salzburg at the end of the stage. Matches against Toulouse showed that Benfica still have enough problems - 2:1 at home and very difficult 0:0 away, where the French failed to realise a lot of chances.

Just ahead of the game with Rangers, Benfica lost twice in a row - in the first game of the semi-final of the Portuguese Cup the team lost away to Sporting 1:2, and then in the national championship lost to Porto 0:5.

Rangers

Glasgow Rangers won the group of the Europa League, so the playoffs of the tournament start immediately from the round of 16. In their quartet, the Scots are ahead of Sparta Prague, Betis, and Aris Cyprus. The team lost only one match out of six and won three with a goal difference of 8:6.

In the Scottish Championship, Rangers lost at home to Motherwell 1:2 in the previous round, but retained first place in the standings - two points from second place Celtic.

Expert Betting Tips

Benfica is higher class than Rangers, which, given the low level of the national championship, simply do not have the opportunity to regularly play with such strong opponents. So the Lisbon side, although not always fulfilling their potential this season, will surely win the upcoming game.
