Rangers vs Athletic Club Preview and Team News

Rangers Team News

Rangers rank 2nd in the Scottish Premiership after a 2-0 defeat to 3rd-placed Hibernian. Despite dominating possession and controlling most of the game, two chances were enough for their rivals to score: one in each half. 

The Scottish club totalled over 70% possession and recorded 15 shots. Only two of them resulted in big chances, the same as their opponents, who managed just 7 shots. This has been a common trend for the Rangers, which is explained by their midfield dominance but lack of quality up front. Dessers is struggling to make an impact as the sole striker.

Rangers qualified thanks to a first-leg victory over Turkish side Fenerbahce (1-3) in Istanbul. However, they came close to elimination in the second leg, with the opponents winning 2-0 to force penalties. The Scottish camp won the penalty shootout 3-2 to progress to the next round.

John Souttar and Mohamed Diomandé are suspended. Neraysho Kasanwirjo is sidelined with an injury.

Rangers Predicted Line-up vs Athletic Club

Rangers vs Athletic Club (3-4-2-1): Butland; Propper, Balogun, Tavernier; Jefte, Barron, Raskin, Sterling; Bajrami, Černý; Hagi.

Athletic Club Team News

Athletic Club are 4th after a goalless draw with 5th-placed Villarreal, who finished the match with ten men following Gueye’s red card in the 83rd minute.

The Basque struggled to defend against Villarreal but avoided defeat thanks to a compact defence. Ernesto Valverde’s men were inaccurate, missing simple passes, but improved in the final 15 minutes, especially after gaining a man advantage.

In the past month, Athletic Club have struggled to find their usual rhythm, only victorious in one of their last five games. 

They reached the next round despite a 2-1 first-leg defeat to Roma, winning 3-1 at San Mamés in the return leg. The match was heavily influenced by Hummels’ red card in the 12th minute for a harsh foul. Nico Williams scored a brace, while left-back Yuri Berchiche also found the net. The latter is regularly praised for his consistency, having featured in almost every event this season.

Yuri Berchiche, Yeray Álvarez, and Íñigo Ruiz de Galarreta remain sidelined through injury.

Athletic Club Predicted line-up vs Rangers

Athletic Club Predicted line-up vs Rangers (4-2-3-1): Simón; Lekue, Paredes, Vivian, De Marcos; Prados, Jaureguizar; N.Williams, Sancet, I.Williams; Guruzeta.

Rangers vs Athletic Club Prediction

  • Prediction: Draw
  • Odds: 3.54 (22Bet)
  • Score Prediction: Rangers 1-1 Athletic Club

Athletic Club have struggled to replicate their impact away from home, as they depend on the support of San Mamés. With the absence of Berchiche, there are reasons to believe it’ll be a challenging game for the visitors. However, Rangers are also missing several important players due to injuries, making it an even match.

Although the guests have not been convincing in March, they can count on the return of the Vivian-Paredes centre-back pairing, which has been key to much of their success this season.

Rangers vs Athletic Club Betting Tip

  • Pick: Nico Williams to score
  • Odds: 4 (22Bet)

Although Nico Williams failed to impress against Villarreal, he’s often fared well against three-man backlines, where there’s more space for him to exploit. Depending on his supporting full-back, he could easily find favourable 1v1 situations leading to big chances.
