Rangers reached this stage of the tournament after a dramatic penalty shootout against Fenerbahçe, following a 0:2 loss in the second leg which equalized the overall result. The match did not offer any goals in extra time and was decided by a penalty shootout. Since then, the Scots have suffered five consecutive home losses in all competitions. In the Europa League at home, they have one win, one draw, and three losses so far.
Athletic stable in recent matchesThe guests from Bilbao defeated Roma in the previous round, overcoming a deficit from the first leg and achieving a 3:1 victory at home to progress with an overall result of 4:3. The team is undefeated in their last five matches in all competitions. However, in their away matches in the Europa League, it cannot be said that they are particularly consistent in their performances, as only two of their previous five visits have been won.
Under 2.5 goals betDespite the good performance of some players in the tournament, the recent results of both teams indicate a more closed match. Considering Athletic's performance in away matches and Rangers' difficulties at home, I expect a low-scoring match and am leaning towards a bet for under 2.5 goals.
