  • Rangers saw off Panathinaikos 3-1 on aggregate to reach this stage

  • Viktoria Plzen were 3-2 aggregate winners over Servette in the last round

  • Recommended bet: Rangers to win

Rangers saw off Panathinaikos in the last round of UEFA Champions League qualifying, built on a 2-0 triumph at Ibrox, so they have to be confident they can use home advantage against Viktoria Plzen.

The Gers should be wary, however, of a Czech side who were 3-1 winners at Servette in the previous round and boast bags of European pedigree.

Team news

Russell Martin will be hoping either Thelo Aasgaard or Hamza Igamane is available after picking up injuries. Martin is also hoping international clearance comes through for Mikey Moore, his new loan signing from Tottenham.

Martin was livid with his side following their 1-1 draw at Motherwell on Saturday so is likely to make changes.

Plzen are minus star man Pavel Sulc, who appears to be on his way to Lyon.

Midfielder Adrian Zeljkovic is suspended and first-choice keeper Martin Jedlicka has been out injured with Florian Wiegele deputising.

The stats

Rangers are unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions and are unbeaten in their last five at home.

Each of their three games this season has produced exactly two goals.

Both teams have scored in seven of Plzen's last eight matches.

Matej Vydra, Plzen's ex-Derby and Burnley frontman, has scored in three of his side's four matches this season.

Prediction

Viktoria Plzen had their weekend Czech League match against Mlada Boleslav called off to focus on their trip to Ibrox, but Miroslav Koubek's men still have problems.

Star man Pavel Sulc is gone and they have a knack of conceding goals — they have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight games.

Their 3-1 win at Servette in the previous round demonstrated they can deliver results but it will be a raucous atmosphere at Ibrox where Rangers hold the aces.

They were decent 2-0 winners over Panathinaikos on home soil in the last round and while Russell Martin tore into his side following their weekend draw at Motherwell, they had not been that bad.

The Light Blues will dominate the ball but get chances and roared on by a packed crowd they can turn their superiority into a victory.

Back Rangers to win at evens with LiveScore Bet.
