Athletic Bilbao
WWDDDW 📈
Athletic Bilbao, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 3-1 La Liga success vs Rayo Vallecano.
In that match, Athletic Bilbao had 54% possession and 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For Athletic Bilbao, the goalscorers were Oihan Sancet (58', 94') and Nico Williams (80'). At the other end, Rayo Vallecano had 11 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Pathé Ciss (37') scored for Rayo Vallecano.
Fewer than three goals per game were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Athletic Bilbao have been involved. In terms of the goal attribution during that period, opposing sides scored a total of 2 while Athletic Bilbao totted up 4. However, we must now wait to see whether that pattern shall persist in this next game.
Rangers
LWWLDD ⚖
In their last fixture, Rangers drew 2-2 in the Premiership match with Aberdeen.
In that match, Rangers managed 48% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. For Rangers, the goals were scored by Hamza Igamane (49') and Ianis Hagi (96'). For their opponents, Aberdeen got 17 shots at goal with 5 on target. Leighton Clarkson (31') and Pape Habib Guèye (44') scored for Aberdeen.
The stats don’t lie, and Rangers have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 11 goals in total. Defensively, Rangers just haven’t been too solid at all.
📰 Team News: Athletic Bilbao
Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Athletic Bilbao gaffer Ernesto Valverde to be concerned about from an otherwise complete group. Yuri Berchiche (Calf injury) is sidelined.
It looks as if Los Leones should use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, utilising Julen Agirrezabala, Oscar de Marcos, Daniel Vivian, Yeray Alvarez, Inigo Lekue, I. Ruiz de, Mikel Jauregizar, Nico Williams, Oihan Sancet, Alex Berenguer and Maroan Sannadi.
ℹ️ Team News: Rangers
Out of a mainly full-strength squad, there is only a single fitness problem for the Rangers gaffer Barry Ferguson to be concerned with. Neraysho Kasanwirjo (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
We are inclined to think that The Gers seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-3 lineup, settling for Liam Kelly, James Tavernier, Leon Balogun, John Souttar, Ridvan Yilmaz, Nicolas Raskin, Connor Barron, Jefte, Vaclav Cerny, Cyriel Dessers and Ianis Hagi.
✨ Prediction
We feel that Rangers are certainly able to put a goal past this Athletic Bilbao side, but that probably won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
Our tip is for a 2-1 winning score for Athletic Bilbao when the full-time whistle blows. Expecting it to be very competitive.
