Preview and odds for Rangers vs Roma (03:00, 07/11). Predictions, expected lineups, and expert analysis for the Europa Conference League qualifying round match between Rangers and Roma.
90-minute odds: 3/4 : 0
Total goals line: 2.5
Following a poor start to the season under former manager Russell Martin, Rangers have repeated a similar scenario under new coach Danny Rohl, suffering a heavy 0-3 loss to SK Brann late last month. In Bergen, the Glasgow team conceded two goals within 15 minutes before halftime, completely ending their hopes. To date, Rangers have lost six consecutive matches in European competition, matching the club's worst UEFA record. Although Rohl has secured two wins in the Scottish Premiership against Kilmarnock and Hibernian, the first Old Firm derby ended in disappointment.
While the home team has yet to earn any points and remains at the bottom of the group, Roma are not faring much better, currently ranked 23rd in the Europa League. In the previous round, the Giallorossi surprisingly lost 1-2 at home to Viktoria Plzen. However, in Serie A, Roma have shown strong form, winning 7 out of 10 matches under new manager Gian Piero Gasperini. Despite their best domestic start in eight years, they recently suffered a rare away defeat, losing 0-1 to AC Milan last weekend.
Given Rangers' fatigue following the derby and their leaky defense in Europe (conceding 15 goals in the last 6 games), Roma are expected to take advantage and secure all three vital points, although Ibrox remains a challenging venue.
