Rangers vs Union Saint-Gilloise prediction 30.01.2025 | Europa League

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: Thursday, 30th January, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow)

In recent eight years, Rangers were mostly the second-best team in Scotland, winning the title just once (in the 2020/21 season). This year, "The Light Blues" again looks like the second-best team, as the Celtics have already created a ten-point difference despite having played one game less. In the EL, Rangers performed well, winning 11 points in seven rounds. They have almost certainly secured the 1/16 FInals, but with a big win, they could even maybe secure the 1/8 Finals and void play an extra duel.

Union Saint-Gilloise returned to the Belgian top-flight division in 2021/22 and instantly became one of the best teams, coming super close to winning the title on two occasions. This season, they had a really bad start and, because of it, are in 3rd place with 11 points behind the first-placed Genk. However, as the season progresses, they only look better. In the EL, they are in a similar situation as the Rangers, but considering they have a pretty bad (+1) goal difference, reaching the top eight spots seems pretty unrealistic.

Rangers vs Union Saint-Gilloise pick: Over 2.5 goals

Rangers are in solid form, winning four of the last five games and scoring 15 goals - three per game. Due to a good offense, in recent games, they were over 2.5 goals in those five matches. If we look further back, they were over 2.5 goals in nine out of the last ten games - 90%.

Union Saint-Gilloise is also are very good form, winning four in a row with nine scored goals -2.25 per game. They are a team that more or less plays constant high-scoring games and were over 2.5 goals in ten of the last 12 games - 83%.

Considering both teams' good forms and constant high-scoring games, we expect an exciting high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
