Rangers welcome Sporting Braga to Ibrox in a clash that pits a side searching for answers against one of this season’s most productive attacking units. The hosts are desperate to halt a worrying run of form, while Braga arrive with momentum and an in-form playmaker pulling the strings. Kick-off is set for 8:00pm on Thursday, with plenty at stake for both clubs as the group stage pressure intensifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Sporting Braga to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/4 @ Bet365<\/a>
(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nDespite some progress under their former Sheffield Wednesday manager, Rangers remain short of the quality needed to make an impact in Europe, and Thursday looks unlikely to change that. While the hosts could find the net against a Braga side that has shipped nine goals in four games, the Portuguese outfit have already shown their class with a 2-0 win over Celtic in this season\u2019s Europa League. At Ibrox, Braga should prove too strong for Rangers.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\nEVS @ Betfair<\/a>
(50.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nRangers have struggled to find any rhythm in attack lately, often failing to create clear-cut chances or convert the few opportunities they do generate. Their recent form suggests they are unlikely to break through a disciplined defence with ease. Braga, on the other hand, are extremely stingy at the back, conceding just 0.6 goals per game on average this season. This combination of a misfiring Rangers attack and a defensively solid Braga side points toward a low-scoring affair, making under 2.5 goals a sensible prediction for Thursday\u2019s clash.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
