[Football- Europa League] 7.3/ 21:00 Benfica- Rangers
Rangers are set to be without the services of 8 key players such : McCausland, Scott Wright, Rabbi Matondo, Abdallah Sima, Oscar Cortes, Todd Cantwel, Kieran Dowell and striker Danilo. Huge blow offensively for the Guests, they're without 4 wingers.
Benfica are only missing Bernat.
Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers lost at home to Motherwell on Saturday, with Benfica suffering an even worse result as they were thrashed 5-0 away to Porto and relinquished their domestic lead to Sporting Lisbon.
"Benfica need to show a reaction after their last two games, so we know to expect a difficult game. I don't believe in parking the bus and only defending, I have never done that. Whether it was with smaller teams playing in Madrid or Paris against PSG or playing in Leipzig with Club Brugge, we always attacked to win games." Said coach Philippe Clement.
"After the match, we were all a little bit shocked about the result and of course we were also not happy with the performance. We want to show a good reaction after Sunday." Said coach Schmidt.
We expect an open game with goals from both sides. Benfica are heavily affected by the 5-0 loss to Porto, they'll dominate possession and press high from the start against a good transition team but damaged by injuries.
