Plzen vs Rangers predictions
Rangers go into this in a similar situation to their 2nd Qualifier against Panathinaikos where they went 2-0 up in the first leg and then went into the second with a bit of a focus on defending.
They drew 1-1 in the end, despite sitting back a bit they did then control possession.
However, Rangers have been somewhat lucky with the opposition not being clinical after having plenty of opportunities so they need to defend today.
Plzen vs Rangers betting tips
Rangers to hold off Plzen
Rangers will likely hold off from going for the win here after winning 3-0 in the opening clash.
They won’t want to risk getting caught out at any point with such a lead and just like against the Greek side, they can do the same against the Czech club.
- Bet on the match to finish in a Draw at 3/1 with Ladbrokes
Vydra to cause problems
Former Premier League attacker Matej Vydra is Plzen’s star striker who has had nine shots across the qualifiers already, five of them have gone on target too.
Rangers conceded 16 shots against them in the first leg against Plzen so it wouldn’t be surprising to see them face a similar amount while they try to keep the ball, try to limit Plzen and go defensive to hold off the Czech side from getting back into the game.
Vydra will be one player that causes the issues as he’s strong in the air and can always find himself in the right places in the box to get some chances for his side looking to make up a 3-0 deficit.
- Bet on Matej Vydra to have 1 or more Shots On Target in each half at 7/5 on Paddy Power
