Rangers v Tottenham

Rangers vs Tottenham Preview

Another ‘battle of Britain' clash looms on Thursday night as Scottish Premiership club Rangers play host to English Premier League side Tottenham at Ibrox and with both teams sitting level-pegging on 10 points apiece, this upcoming encounter looks like being a tasty clash.

Rangers will be going in search of a fifth straight win in all competitions following their 3-0 win away from home at Ross County in the Scottish top flight on the weekend and having previously registered a resounding 4-1 win away from home at French Ligue 1 outfit Nice on matchday 5, Rangers will be brimming with confidence.

The wider picture shows Rangers are unbeaten in their last eight games overall in all competitions which consists of six wins and two draws, while the goals market also looks an attractive proposition as six out of Rangers' last 10 matches overall have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

The Scottish hosts have made a decent fist of things so far in this current Europa League campaign as well, losing just once in their opening five ties which came in the shape of a heavy 4-1 loss at home to Lyon but victories over Malmo 2-0 and then Steaua Bucharest 4-0 at home have helped The Gers up into eighth place in the Europa League table.

Tottenham slipped to a second defeat in the Premier League over the weekend when they lost to London rivals Chelsea 4-3 despite Spurs going 2-0 ahead early on in the game and this performance just summed up Tottenham's inconsistencies in the domestic top flight.

After inflicting a comprehensive 4-0 rout of Manchester City away from home at the Etihad Stadium, Tottenham have since failed to win any of their subsequent four matches in all competitions as the north London side have drawn twice and then slumped to two losses on the trot.

Draws at home with Roma on matchday 5 of the Europa League and then Fulham in the English Premier League were followed by dismal losses at the hands of Bournemouth and Chelsea in the English top flight, while the bigger picture shows Spurs have won just five out of their last 13 matches in all competitions.

Within these previous 13 games, Tottenham have also been handed six defeats as well, so the prospects of an away win here for Ange Postecoglou's side seem to hang in the balance somewhat; however, goals do look likely to unfold at Ibrox on Thursday night.

Indeed, seven out of Tottenham's last 10 games in all competitions have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
