BBC Sportsound pundit predicts Rangers v Real Betis result after Aris Europa League clash
BBC Sportspound pundit Steven Thompson has predicted the result of Rangers v Real Betis after the 1-1 draw against Aris Limassol at Ibrox.
Thompson believes that if Gers play like they did on Thursday night, there’s no chance of them winning in Spain.
Rangers need to beat Betis or match the result of the Aris v Sparta Prague game to go through.
Thompson told the BBC, “To go to Seville in two weeks’ time and beat Betis, on that form, Rangers are certainly not doing it.”
Win this
Going to Seville is not going to be easy, especially after how Rangers struggled to get the job done on Thursday night.
Despite a nervy draw, Philippe Clement’s acknowledgement of the team’s nerves signals an opportunity for improvement.
With a crucial match against Real Betis preceding the Viaplay Cup final, Rangers must maintain focus for both encounters.
A victory against Betis not only secures a favourable Europa League knockout stage draw but also boosts confidence for domestic success.
Clement’s task is addressing nervousness and enhancing team cohesion for optimal performance.
A successful run in Europe and domestic competitions remains achievable with strategic planning, commitment, and a positive mindset.
The Belgian needs to show why he was brought in at Ibrox to replace Michael Beale and needs to prove he’s not like the Englishman.
