Rangers vs Sparta Prague Preview

A much-improved Rangers could offer some real value on Thursday.

I´m taking the hosts to win and to score two goals or more.

Rangers have won 6 of their last 7 home matches (Europa League)
Rangers scored 2 goals or more in 6 of their last 7 home matches (Europa League)
Rangers have won 5 of their 6 most recent home matches
Rangers have won both previous home matches against Sparta
Sparta have lost 11 of their last 13 away matches (Europa League)
Sparta have lost 2 of their 4 most recent away matches

Head to Head

Thursday´s Europa League contest will be the sixth meeting between Rangers and Sparta Prague since 1991.

Rangers claimed a hard-fought goalless draw in last month´s reverse contest in Prague.

The Gers also eased to a comfortable 2-0 win when they last hosted Sparta in November 2021.

Rangers Form

Rangers maintained their recent resurgence with a dominant 3-1 League Cup semi-final victory against Hearts on Sunday.

Since the appointment of Belgian boss Phillippe Clement, the Gers have won four of five matches with an impressive 14 goals scored.

The Glasgow giants come into Thursday´s Europa League fixture with four points from three games.

Rangers Team News

Clement has a handful of players unavailable for Thursday´s crucial fixture in Group C.

John Souttar, Kemar Roofe, Rabbi Matondo and Nico Raskin all remain sidelined for the Gers.

Brazilian forward Danilo will again lead the Rangers attack after an impressive display in Sunday´s League Cup semi-final victory.

Sparta Prague Form

Sparta make the journey to Glasgow boosted by back-to-back wins against Bohemians in the Czech Liga and Czech Cup.

Fourteen games into their domestic season, Brian Priske´s side remain top of the Czech Liga, two points clear of city rivals Slavia.

After a 0-0 draw with Rangers on matchday three, the Reds sit level with the Glaswegians on four points at the halfway stage.

Sparta Prague Team News

Sparta boss Brian Priske has no fresh injury concerns after the Czechs' comfortable win against Bohemians on Saturday.

Top scorer Lukas Haraslín is fit to return to the squad, having missed the 0-0 draw in Prague last month. However, skipper Ladislav Krejci remains unavailable for the away side.

Verdict

Rangers v Sparta Prague

Rangers have a superb home record in this competition and I fancy the hosts to claim a huge three points.

I´m backing the Gers to win and to score two or more in a likely feisty occasion at Ibrox.
