All eyes turn to Ibrox as Rangers host Ludogorets in a Europa League<\/a> showdown that pits one of the competition’s most shot-shy attacks against one of its most clinical finishers. With Rangers desperate to find a spark after a winless group campaign and Ludogorets arriving as overperformers in front of goal, this clash promises a fascinating contrast in efficiency. Kick-off is set for 20:00 on Thursday evening at Ibrox Stadium, with both sides seeking a much-needed statement win.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Ludogorets to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/4 @ Bet365<\/a>
(26.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Ludogorets at a generous price as they have scored 16 goals from just 10.8 xG, showing ruthless finishing, while Rangers have only managed 3 goals from 10.3 xG. The visitors\u2019 ability to outperform their expected goals and their standout creator Stanic (6 goals, 21 key passes) makes them dangerous against a Rangers defence that has conceded 11 in 6 games.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Ludogorets\u2019 attacking output and Rangers\u2019 need to chase the game at home. Despite Rangers\u2019 struggles in front of goal, their underlying xG is strong (10.3 over 6 games), and Ludogorets have conceded 14 in 6. Both teams have the tools to find the net.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
