Rangers vs Jagiellonia — Tips & Analysis

Jagiellonia +1: Rangers are in no state to blow anyone away. Chermiti did his knee in Sunday's 2-1 home loss to Hibernian, and Barron, Godfrey, Cifuentes and Rommens are all missing too. Rangers have scored exactly one goal in each of their last three games, losing 1-2 to Hibernian, losing 1-2 in Poland and tying 1-1 at Dundee United. Their last five read one win, one tie and three losses. Jagiellonia travel well. They have played 5 away games without losing, winning 3 and tying 2, and they let in less than a goal a game on the road. Across their last 14 games they have won 8 and let in 1 a game. Rangers leave the back door open at Ibrox too, letting in almost 2 a game. A team chasing the round is easy to catch on the break. Our read is a 1-1, and this leg only goes wrong if Rangers find the comfortable win that has been beyond them lately. Rangers have managed that in only 5 of their last 17 games. The warning is real. Ibrox on a European night can turn wild, and Rangers' home games in this run all finished with 3 or more goals. Jagiellonia also lost 0-2 at home to Widzew last time out. We still think the Poles keep this close.
