Liverpool vs Rangers: The Kop Seek First Champions League Win
Liverpool will welcome Rangers to Anfield in the third round of the Champions League group stage. Can The Kop get their first win in the European arena or will Rangers pull off an upset? Let’s take a look at the Liverpool vs Rangers prediction to get the most detailed view.
Head-to-Head and Current Form
Liverpool: Thirsty for Victory
Liverpool are going through a difficult start to the season. The Kop have only 2 wins after 7 rounds in the Premier League and are currently languishing in 9th place in the table. In the Champions League, Jurgen Klopp’s side suffered a humiliating 1-4 defeat to Napoli in the opening match. However, with the home advantage at Anfield and the determination to find joy again, Liverpool are expected to play explosively.
Rangers: Difficulties Await
Rangers are not in the best of form either. The Scottish representative lost both of their opening matches in the Champions League group stage and are currently at the bottom of Group A. Domestically, Rangers are also 9 points behind leaders Celtic. Marching to Anfield with a makeshift squad, Rangers are unlikely to cause an upset.
