Rangers vs Benfica Match Preview and Team News
Rangers
Rangers hope to wrap this up after seeing a 3-1 lead go up in smoke in Portugal as these sides drew 3-3 in the first meeting. Rangers beat Aberdeen 4-0 on Sunday, registering their fourth clean sheet in five matches and their 20th unbeaten game. In their last 20 games, the Glasgow side has managed 17 wins and 16 clean sheets. They have scored a massive 15 goals in their previous three matches and will head here very confident. The only time Rangers have failed to score in their last 20 games was against Livingston, a game that ended 0-0. They are unbeaten in six Europa League matches, winning five of them, but at home, they have one clean sheet in five Europa League matches. Scott Arfield is an experienced midfielder, he is strong, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from him. Fans love this man. Ryan Kent enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems.
Benfica
On the other hand, Benfica ended their three-match winless run over the weekend, with a 1-0 win over lower-tier side Paredes. It has not been cozy for the Portuguese side in recent times, conceding nine goals in the last four matches, including the clash against Rangers in Portugal. Their decline in defense has seen the team concede two or more goals in five of the previous ten games, and the last five matches have yielded just two clean sheets. While it hasn’t been fruitful in the previous few rounds, Benfica has four wins in five away matches and have scored three or more goals in their last four Europa League matches. Adel Taarabt plays in the middle of the field, which means a lot to the team, and his experience gives the team an advantage in many games. There are a lot of exciting players on the bench. Everton enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has a problem. His most significant strength is speed.
