Super Computer predicts chances of Rangers qualifying for Europa League knockout stages
Rangers rescued a point in the 1-1 draw against Brondby last night in the Europa League over in Denmark.
The Bears will know that three points against Sparta Prague in the next matchday could secure their spot in the knockout stages.
A Super Computer from FiveThirtyEight has predicted that Rangers have a 54% chance of finishing second and qualifying for the knockout phase.
Predicting on their website, Rangers appear to be the favourites to take the second spot in the group this year.
As well as that, there isn’t much hope of the Bears passing the Round of 16 given their lower seed progression.
Sparta Prague have been dominated by Lyon over the last two matchdays and that has opened the door massively.
The Czech’s currently sit second ahead of the Bears, but that is on head-to-head records.
All that means is that a win is a priority against Sparta Prague, and defeat would all but end our chances.
Poor start.
It was a shocking start to proceedings in Brondby last night, and things have to be much better from the first whistle at Ibrox.
The return of Ryan Kent was a major boost for the Bears and his injection into the game last night was something that delivered that one point.
Gerrard will be revisiting some of the famous European nights at Ibrox ahead of this one, hoping to inspire a huge performance.
54% appears to be a big chance given our shocking start to the group stage, and if it doesn’t work out, a spot in the European Conference League will be waiting for us.
