Rangers and Malmo will face each other in the Champions League Third Round Qualifying Second-Leg tie this week. The match will be held at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Tuesday.

Rangers

Rangers lost the first leg of the Champions League Third Round Qualifying First-Leg tie 2-1 against Malmo last week. Steven Gerrard’s side were actually 2-0 down after 49 minutes, but a late goal from Steven Davis saw the Gers retain their chances of going through.

The Gers suffered yet another defeat following the match. Rangers, who won the league title in Scotland last season, went down 1-0 to Dundee United away from home in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

Team News:

Alfredo Morelos could start for Rangers despite not playing well at the weekend. Ryan Jack is out.

Malmo

Malmo will be disappointed that they could not get the job done in the first leg. After all, the Swedish club were 2-0 up in the opening minutes of the second half.

Rangers have not been great this season, but they do have an away goal. A 1-0 win at Ibrox will be enough for the Gers to go through. Rangers will also have a vocal support for the second leg.

Team News:

Jo Inge Berget will start for Malmo.

Key Factors to Consider

• Rangers have lost their last two competitive games.
• Malmo have won four of their last six competitive games.
• Malmo and Rangers had 50% of the possession each last week.
• Both Malmo and Rangers had two shots last week.
• Neither Malmo nor Rangers could earn a corner in the first leg.

Conclusion

Malmo will not make it easy for Rangers. It will be a tight game, and a solitary goal will be enough to separate the two sides. Rangers are likely to get that goal.
