Sparta Prague vs Rangers Predictions

• Sparta Prague have lost just one of their last 11 matches
• Rangers have failed to win any of their three away European matches this season
• All of Rangers’ last five matches have gone over 2.5 goals

Rangers’ away struggles may continue

New Rangers manager Philippe Clement had the perfect start to his reign, beating Hibs 4-0 at the weekend. An away game against Sparta Prague in the Europa League is a vastly different proposition however and his new team may come up short.

After opening their campaign with an impressive home win against Real Betis, the Gers were beaten by Aris Limassol in their last Europa League game. They have taken a draw and two defeats from their three European away matches this season, conceding eight times in the process.

Their opponents Sparta Prague beat Aris Limassol 3-2 in their first game before being edged 2-1 by Betis last time out. They have a rock solid home record this season though, winning eight of their nine games on their own patch.

High-scoring affair fancied

Both of these teams are no strangers to a high-scoring affair, with eight of Sparta Prague’s nine home games this season going over 2.5 goals. The Gers’ last five matches have also seen three or more goals and a repeat of that is fancied here.

Correct score backers should side with a 2-1 home win in what should be a competitive game that the hosts are just fancied to edge.
