Red Star Belgrade vs Rangers – To say the Rangers were fortunate to beat Red Star Belgrade 3-0 in the first leg on home soil would be an understatement.

In Glasgow seven days ago, the Scottish champions scored and conceded three goals each. The difference between the two teams was that Red Star’s three goals were all disallowed due to minor offsides (all good calls, though).

On top of that, Red Star Belgrade’s best player, Aleksandar Katai, was denied a penalty by Allan McGregor from the spot.

Nonetheless, a good performance at Ibrox Stadium will be in vain for the Serbian champions, who now face a mountain to climb to win by at least three goals difference (to earn extra time) in the return leg on Thursday night at Stadion Rajko Mitic.

We have every reason to expect an open game rife with goals on this occasion, as the team led by Dejan Stankovic has nothing to lose.

Both teams won their respective domestic competitions over the weekend. After a 1-2 victory over Metalac GM on Monday, Red Star Belgrade surpassed bitter city rivals Partizan Belgrade atop the Super Liga standings.

Rangers, on the other hand, advanced to the Scottish FA Cup semifinals on Sunday afternoon by defeating Dundee FC 0-3 on the road.

Despite a disappointing result, Red Star Belgrade made a strong impression in the first leg in Glasgow. On Thursday, they will receive a huge boost from the local crowd in Serbia’s capital.

However, we can’t shake the feeling that the bookmakers have significantly undervalued Rangers here, with them priced at 1.66 odds not to lose the match. At 1.90 odds, we will also back the Over 2.5 goals FT bet.
