Liverpool are set to play Rangers at Anfield on Tuesday in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool come into this game on the back of a 3-3 draw against Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League. A hat-trick from Belgian attacker Leandro Trossard for Brighton & Hove Albion was cancelled out by a brace from Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino and an own goal from centre-back Adam Webster for Liverpool.
Rangers, on the other hand, beat ten-man Hearts 4-0 in the Scottish Premiership. A brace from Croatian striker Antonio Colak and goals from Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos and winger Ryan Kent sealed the deal for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Rangers.
Liverpool vs Rangers Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Liverpool vs Rangers Prediction
Liverpool have been poor this season by their lofty standards. Jurgen Klopp's men have looked off the pace in multiple games, and are currently 9th in the league. The likes of Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah have not been at their very best so far.
In the Champions League, they are 2nd in their group, three points behind leaders Napoli. They did not enjoy the best of games against the Serie A giants, and registering a positive result against Rangers will be extremely important for the English side.
Rangers, on the other hand, are 2nd in the Scottish Premiership, two points behind leaders Celtic. They are bottom of the group in the Champions League, and have lost both their group games so far.
Antonio Colak has enjoyed a good domestic campaign, while the likes of James Tavernier and Ryan Kent have done well as well. However, Rangers will be keen to enjoy a good European campaign, with three points separating them and Liverpool and Ajax in their group.
Liverpool will be the favourites to win.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Rangers
