Rangers vs Fenerbahce predictions and live streaming

The match between Rangers and Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League promises to be a captivating encounter, particularly given Rangers' current 3-1 advantage from the first leg. Historically, teams leading by two or more goals have a significant upper hand in European competitions . However, Fenerbahce's manager, José Mourinho, remains optimistic about his squad's chances of overturning the deficit. His experience in high-pressure situations could play a crucial role in motivating the players to perform beyond expectations despite their lackluster performance in the first match.

Rangers will be favourites to seal a Europa League quarter-final spot as they host Fenerbahce in the second leg of their last-16 tie on Thursday.

Rangers stunned Jose Mourinho’s side on their home turf last week, winning 3-1 under interim manager and former player Barry Ferguson after the sacking of former manager Philippe Clement.

Cyriel Dessers opened the scoring before a glorious Alexander Djik

Rangers possible starting lineup: Butland; Tavernier, Souttar, Balogun; Yilmaz, Barron, Raskin, Jefte; Diomande, Cerny; Dessers

Fenerbahce possible starting lineup: Livakovic; Skriniar, Amrabat, Akcicek; Muldur, Szymanski, Fred, Kostic; Tadic; En-Neysri, Dzeko

Cyriel Dessers opened the scoring early on, only for substitute Alexander Djiku to level with a spectacular overhead kick just before the half-hour mark. Yet, Rangers responded emphatically, as a Václav Cerny brace ensured they departed Turkey with a crucial two-goal cushion.

Barry Ferguson's men have now suffered just one defeat in their last seven outings in this competition (W4, D2, L1)—that heartbreaking stoppage-time loss at Old Trafford. Confidence will be high as they aim to see off a Fenerbahce side that has struggled on the road in Europe, winning just once in their last six away matches (W1, D3, L2).

Rangers and Fenerbahce are closely matched, though Rangers' home advantage at Ibrox, where they've won three and drawn two of their last five against Turkish teams, gives them an edge. Despite Fenerbahce's superior squad value, Mourinho's side is prone to errors. With low odds on both teams scoring or over 2.5 goals, a Rangers win to nil is a viable bet. Exploring in-play options like total goals, corners, or cards could also be profitable.
