Rangers defeated Fenerbahce 3-1 last week
Rangers may be having trouble in the Scottish League, but they defeated Fenerbahce 3-1 last week in Turkey to record their greatest performance of the year.
After six minutes, Cyriel Dessers gave the Gers the lead. At the half, Fenerbahce rallied and equalized with Alexander Djiku. However, Vaclav Cerny’s goals late in the second half (42 and 81 minutes) gave Barry Ferguson’s faltering squad an incredible victory.
Fenerbahce’s remarkable unbeaten run
Fenerbahce’s remarkable unbeaten run (17 games in all competitions) since their home loss to Atletico in December of last year added to the matchup’s intrigue as the first leg took place in Istanbul.
Mert Müldür was given a second yellow card that evening, and the hosts played the final twenty minutes with 10 men when Iñaki Williams brilliantly doubled.
Along with the announcement of Barry Ferguson as Rangers’ new manager and Jose Mourinho‘s comment regarding a possible managerial spell in Scotland, this background increased the enthusiasm. Jose’s ties to Scotland do appear to be closer after the 1-3 home loss.
This tie still appears to be far from finished, even after the outcome of the first leg. This opinion is supported by both teams’ domestic performance.
Rangers vs Fenerbahce Match prediction
Even though we think this game will start off nervous, we can anticipate one goal opening the score. even if the second half is when we have to wait.
Four goals were scored in the opening leg. Fenerbahce had 23 shots on goal compared to eight from Rangers, but the home team only managed one goal .
Fenerbahce appeared to be the superior team that evening despite making a lot of mistakes. At Ibrox, they would try not to be as wasteful. Rangers is the home team, and both clubs are likely to score in this game.
Youssef En-Nesyri will be key for Fenerbahce to turn this tie around as they need goals and the talisman is a monumental figure in the box. His aerial abilities will be used extensively to bypass the Rangers’ defence and goalkeeper.
