Things haven’t been very rosy for Rangers in their recent matches, and they will be keen to change the narrative when hosting Malmo in the return leg of their third qualifying round of the Champions League. Rangers trail 2-1 in this tie and it comes right after a second straight loss, having been shocked 1-0 by Dundee United in the Premiership. For a team that had a great campaign last season, two straight losses will be a concern and Steven Gerrard will hope this is quickly addressed. The loss to Dundee United was the first time in 12 competitive matches for Rangers to go without scoring. They need at least a 1-0 win here to stay in contention for the playoffs and should be able to count on their home form. The Scottish giants are unbeaten inside 90 minutes in their last 10 home matches and have kept clean sheets in half of those, and won seven.
The last time Rangers played in the Champions League, 2011, Malmo were responsible for their elimination. The Swedish side is on the verge of repeating the feat, by simply avoiding defeat in Glasgow. Malmo conceded a last-minute goal in the first leg and will hope this doesn’t come to haunt them in the return leg. They have a good run though, going into this game unbeaten in nine matches with five clean sheets and six wins in the run. They hope to keep this good run heading to Glasgow, and the fact that they’ve scored in nine of their last 10 matches places them in a good position. Away from home, they are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning two, drawing three and failing to score in just one of their last 11.

Our Rangers vs Malmo Prediction
Malmo have the advantage going into this game but it is slim, and we don’t expect they will be confident with it. Knowing too well Rangers have the quality, the Swedes will want to add goals here and we expect an end to end game. The two sides have good scoring runs so go for both to score.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
