Rangers vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Sridhar | in Europa League Prediction
After an entertaining 2-2 draw in Lisbon, Rangers and Benfica set out for another thrilling match this week. This Europa League round of 16 second leg will be played at the Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow on Thursday. Rangers took the lead twice in the first leg but were pegged back and eventually had to settle for a draw. They will be worried about their record at this stage, having progressed from just one of the four previous round of 16 ties in Europe. In that context, the Portuguese visitors are likely to be in a better frame of mind. Benfica have won all of their five previous Europa League last 16 ties, although they would have loved to win at home in the first leg. One has to go all the way back to 1960/61 for Benfica's only win against Scottish opposition, but will they rewrite history with a win over Rangers here?Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Rangers - Benfica Lisbon: Form Analysis
Rangers defeated Hibernian 2-0 after the first leg draw, collecting a win, a draw, and a defeat across their last three matches. They are currently leading the Scottish Premiership by two points over arch-rivals Celtic and would love to take that confidence to Europe. The Rangers have been having alternating results in the Europa League recently, with two wins and three draws from their last five matches in the competition. Despite their indifferent form, the hosts will be buoyed by their form at this venue. Rangers are unbeaten across their last nine home matches in the Europa League, winning seven and drawing two. There's also confidence to gain from their past record, as the Rangers are unbeaten in matches played at home against Portuguese clubs, winning eight and drawing three.
Benfica followed the draw in the first leg with a 3-1 win over Estoril in the domestic league. That was a relief in some ways, bringing their first win across four competitive matches. They are one point behind leaders Sporting in the domestic league standings, but for the moment, it is about progression in Europe for Benfica. The Eagles will be uncomfortable looking at their recent Europa League record, though, as they have won only one of their last six matches in this competition. Four of those matches ended in a draw, which, intriguingly, has been a regular result for the visitors in Europe. Benfica have drawn and won nine games each in their last 22 away European matches, and they won't be unfazed by a trip to Scotland. There will be some anxious faces in the away dugout, looking at history books, as Benfica have only once previously progressed in a two-legged knockout competition in Europe after failing to win the first leg at home.
