Glasgow Rangers hosts Young Boys in round 6 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 12th at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow)
Glasgow Rangers will reach the playoffs in certain circumstances, even if it loses to Young Boys. But it is unlikely that Gerrard’s team will play badly in front of their fans. It is at home that the Light Blues show the brightest game, and they lost only to the main enemy. But Rangers goes without home losses from the qualification stage of the Europa League. Gerrard's team won in all home European cup matches and scored 15 goals in total. Moreover, even Porto did not survive in Glasgow, having conceded two goals here.

A miss of Fassnacht in the last minutes of the match with Porto could be fatal for Young Boys. Now the Swiss will be not satisfied even with a draw in Scotland, which forces them to open. And with the team’s current problems on the defensive, an open game against Glasgow Rangers will surely lead to conceded goals. Moreover, Young Boys kept a clean sheet in only two of 13 away games this season. And here it is worth noting that Zurich, which did not manage to convert several good attempts, and an amateur club from the lower division of Switzerland didn’t manage to score the Yellow-Blacks.
Gerrard's team scored in all matches of the Europa League group stage and breached Young Boys’ defense already in the first half of the away game. In general, Glasgow Rangers did not score in only two of the 22 recent official games. In both cases, the Light Blues didn’t manage to aggrieve Celtic. But Gerrard's men deserved to score a goal in both matches with the champion of Scotland. I doubt that Young Boys, who conceded three goals in four of the last eight matches, will be able to repeat the success of the Celts. Moreover, Rangers won in each of the eight last matches on their pitch. But I also expect a goal from the visitors. Gerrard's men kept a clean sheet in only one of the last five games, restraining the onslaught of the outsider of the Scottish Premier League. And it was Young Boys which inflicted the only defeat on the Light Blues in the Europa League group stage. The Yellow-Blacks failed to score in only two of 27 official games. The Swiss are not inferior to the Scots in terms of attacking potential. And the motivation of the visitors allows counting on at least one goal scored by them in the final round. I expect an exchange of goals in the second leg between Glasgow Rangers and Young Boys.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
