Challenge or rather an all-British match scheduled for the sixth day of the Europa League between Rangers and Tottenham: ninety minutes that promise to be tough, intense and full of good news for whoever, between the two contenders, manages to snatch the full stake. Both teams are in fact on 10 points, together with three others: a share that is right "straddling" direct qualification for the round of 16 and the playoffs. From what has been seen, both Rangers and Tottenham undoubtedly have the chances to aim high but the latest snapshot speaks of two different moments: very good for the Scots, problematic for the English and this makes the match at Ibrox Stadium even more intriguing.

Rangers' shape and main statistics

In the Scottish championship, Celtic is uncatchable but this does not obscure how much good the Rangers' rivals are doing: 4 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 with only 1 goal conceded are reliable evidence.

For those who thought that the Scottish championship could be untrainable or these results not indicative, Rangers have shown they have the answer: the last 1-4 in the Europa League on the Nice field was a verdict, because it came at the home of a team that has recently been of great value and with a significant gap.

In any case, it was not the only European success: for now in the competition, Rangers boast 3 wins, 1 draw and only 1 defeat and have scored double the goals conceded. The fact of playing at Ibrox Stadium will also be a plus: 5 wins in the last 6 home games for Clement's boys.

Tottenham's form and main statistics

Many times the last match played by a team catalyses for better or for worse the entire recent moment and, in the case of Spurs, losing the derby with Chelsea by 3-4 after being ahead by 2-0 was a very hard blow.

From there, Tottenham will have to start again but will also have to deal with a Premier League ranking that places them in a terrible (for the history and ambitions of the club) eleventh place with as many as 7 games lost so far.

Coming to the Europa League, however, the situation of Postecoglu's men improves a little: 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat so far (exactly like the Rangers) and 2 goals on average per game are a scenario close to the potential of the Londoners who, however, in general, currently remain "under observation" and in need of a couple of important victories that can give them a boost.

Match prediction and tactical overview

Usually, a Scottish team that has history, that is doing well and that plays a European match at home is always a danger for all opponents and this is the case of the Rangers who, although by prediction they are placed far behind the problematic Tottenham, must absolutely be considered.
For this reason and also for the imaginable desire for revenge of Tottenham who however demonstrates to have many problems in defense, the scenario that foresees more than 2 goals seems to us the most reliable and is the one clearly indicated by the BetMines algorithm.
