Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Rangers vs Servette

Rangers

The Rangers clash with Servette begins their European path in the new campaign and the main task of the Scots, of course, is to reach the group stage of the Champions League. Therefore, there is no doubt about the motivation of the team's players and their desire to win confidently in the first match.

Rangers got off to a poor start in the Scottish Championship as the Light Blues lost to Kilmarnock in the first round away. Therefore, the team will also consider the home match in the Champions League qualification as an opportunity to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans and show a stronger performance.

Servette

But Servette has already successfully passed one round of the Champions League qualification: at the last stage, the Swiss team coped with Genk not without problems. In addition, the team had a rather successful start in the Swiss championship, never losing in the starting three rounds.

We can safely say that Servette's players are in good shape, but the lack of experience at this level can be a decisive factor for the team. Nevertheless, in the first match against the Rangers, the guests clearly intend to demonstrate a good game and do not intend to give up just like that.

Game Totals Prediction

This is one of those couples in this Champions League qualifying draw that has a clear favorite. Still, the Rangers are considered to be a much cooler team and a more experienced European Cup fighter, who will play in front of their fans in the first match. The main task of Servette in such a game will be to survive and leave himself some chances before the second leg. A logical choice seems to be a bet on handicap 1 (-1) for 1.72.
