Servette vs Rangers match preview
Last Wednesday’s first leg at Ibrox was ferocious, hard-fought and fast-paced, so who will keep their Champions League dreams alive in Geneva?
Six nights ago, it was all Rangers early on, with James Tavernier converting a penalty after just six minutes, before Cyriel Dessers bundled home his first for the club from mere picometres out soon after.
However, Sam Lammers then squandered a golden opportunity to make it three before, right on the cusp of half time, the Swiss side got back into the match, with Chris Bedia converting a soft penalty.
David Douline was then sent off just before the hour mark, picking up a two yellow cards, but Rangers could not make their man advantage count, only managing to win 2-1.
So, the Gers have plenty of work to do ahead of this return tie in Switzerland.
This time last year, Rangers ended their 12-year exile from the Champions League group stages, overcoming Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and then PSV in qualifiers to get there.
Servette meantime have already caused one upset in Europe this season, dumping out Genk on penalties in the second qualifying round.
This victory guarantees that the Maroons will be debuting in a UEFA group stage next month, but René Weiler’s team will believe they can progress at Stade de Genève.
The winners of this tie will take on PSV Eindhoven or Sturm Graz in the UEFA Champions League play-off round.
The losers drop into the UEFA Europa League group stages.
Servette team news
Striker Enzo Crivelli, who was sent off just eight minutes into their victory over Genk a fortnight ago, can return up front, having served his suspension at Ibrox.
This time, David Douline will be suspended, after he was shown a red card in Glasgow.
Joël Mall will continue to deputise in goal, with regular number one Jérémy Frick having gone off injured during that aforementioned tie in Belgium.
Predicted XI (4-4-2): Mall; Vouilloz, Rouiller, Severin, Mazikou; Cognat, Ondoua, Kutesa, Guillemenot; Crivelli, Bedia.
Rangers team news
At the weekend, Michael Beale rested both Connor Goldson and Ryan Jack, with the returning Leon Balogun and José Cifuentes deputising, the latter making his debut after arriving from LAFC.
However, Goldson and Jack are both expected to return here, which is a big boost.
In less good news, Todd Cantwell hobbled off against Livingston, making him a serious doubt for this huge game.
So, Kieran Dowell could come into midfield, in-behind three other new recruits, Sam Lammers, Cyriel Dessers and Danilo, all of whom have got off the mark in the last week.
Rangers have never won in Switzerland, losing three of four visits, most-recently beaten 2-1 by BSC Young Boys in 2019, but will this be a night of celebration for Beale’s boys?
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Butland; Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar, Barišić; Raskin, Jack, Dowell, Lammers, Dessers; Danilo.
