Rangers have already been eliminated from the Europa League but will want to sign off with a win away to FC Porto. Heading into this Matchday 8 encounter, Porto are ninth and Rangers 32nd in the league phase standings. Here’s our prediction of the match.
Porto will go into this game guaranteed of at least a playoff spot. The Portuguese giants will be kicking themselves for not finishing the last round in the top eight.
Porto played to a 1-1 draw with 10-match Viktoria Plzen in a game that Samu Omorodion missed a penalty. It took a stoppage-time goal from Dennis Gul to secure a point.
With four wins in seven rounds, Porto trail the top eight by a point going into this match.
Rangers managed their first win in the league phase in the last round, overcoming Ludogorets 1-0 at home. That victory came a little too late, as five defeats in the opening six matches had already sealed their fate.
The Scots have nothing to play for here but pride, though they are coming off a run of eight straight wins. Their 3-0 win over Dundee FC on Sunday marked their fifth straight clean sheet.
The visitors will also be pumped up by the fact that they’ve never lost to FC Porto in their four earlier meetings (2W, 2D). However, they’ve lost all three league phase away games.

Our Porto vs Rangers Prediction
A lot has changed since FC Porto and Rangers last faced off, seven years ago. Back then Rangers claimed a win in this matchup, but we don’t see that playing out here. Even though they carry a good run into this game, Rangers have been poor when it comes to the Europa League.
This has been more pronounced, especially in away matches. Porto has the upper hand, but they must work on their defensive leakages, with Rangers improving in attack. Our prediction for FC Porto v Rangers is for Porto to win & BTTS.
