The match
Red Star Belgrade have it all to do to get back into this Europa League last 16 tie. They lost the first leg 3-0 away at Glasgow Rangers putting the Scottish side in a great position to reach the quarter finals. Red Star have struggled on the road in Europe all season, both in the Champions League (failing to reach the group stages) and the Europa League. Their home form is better though with three wins in this competition, though they did lose to Midtjylland. The last two at home have both had under 2.5 goals scored in them.
Rangers come into this game having kept four consecutive clean sheets. They will really kick themselves if letting slip this 3-0 lead, so you can expect two targets for this match. Firstly, to keep it tight and not let the home side get anywhere near scoring the three goals they need just to level the tie. Secondly, grabbing another goal in the tie to make life even more difficult for the home side. Rangers have only conceded three goals in an away game once in their last 29 matches. Five of their last six away games in the Europa League have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. Go for that stat to come up again in this match.
