Rangers vs Jagiellonia
📖 The Preview
Rangers have an absolute mountain to climb here, needing to overturn a one-goal deficit from the first leg, and that desperation could actually work in their favour on home turf. Jagiellonia have been in frightening form across their last ten, but the prediction has them sitting deep and protecting their aggregate lead, which suits a low-scoring night. Both teams to score is off the table and goals look scarce overall, so one Rangers breakthrough proving enough to force extra time feels exactly right given the pressure on both sides.
