Rangers v BSC Young Boys Betting Tips [12 December 2019]

The UEFA Europa League Group ‘G’ remains one of the closest and the most exciting, as Rangers and Young Boys target a win at Ibrox in this encounter. Rangers are top of the table with eight points, while Young Boys are third with seven. With the four sides separated by a mere three points, all four have a chance to qualify for the knockouts. Rangers will qualify for the knockouts if they can avoid a defeat in this fixture. There is also a chance to progress with a loss, provide Porto do not beat Feyenoord in the other Group finale. Young Boys also have a chance to qualify with a win at Ibrox. A draw should be enough, but only if Porto lose.

Rangers came through four qualifying matches to qualify for the main draw and including those, have lost just once in Europe this season. However, that loss has come against Young Boys and Rangers have won just once in their last four Europa League matches. Thankfully though, the Rangers have an impressive record at home. They have won their last six Europa League matches at home and are unbeaten here since March 2011. That is a run of 15 Europa League matches, winning 11 and drawing four.

Young Boys have lost 2-1 at home to Porto that has put their chances on hold. Furthermore, they have won just one of their last 20 European away games. Their away record in the Europa League proper is not impressive either, with just two wins and 11 losses in 19 matches. They have lost four and drawn five of the recent nine such matches. Including the qualifiers, Young Boys are without a win for ten away matches in the Europa League since November 2014.

Both Rangers and Young Boys have a realistic chance of making it to the knockouts from this match, making this a real humdinger. Rangers bring an exceptional record at the Ibrox and that makes them a favourite to win, although Young Boys won the reverse encounter.
