Rangers vs Malmo Predictions and Betting Tips

The second leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying rounds is set for this coming week as Rangers and Malmo renew their acquaintances this Tuesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Two quickfire goals at the beginning of the second half ensured Malmo picked up a first-leg victory. With Rangers netting in the 90th minute to keep this game perfectly poised, we expect a tight encounter in Scotland this week.

All to play for at the Ibrox Stadium

Rangers began their title defence in style with a comfortable 3-0 victory at home to Livingston. They headed to the Tannadice Park looking to make it two wins from two in the Scottish Premiership. Little did they know that they would fall to a 64th-minute strike from Jamie Robson as Dundee United ended Steven Gerard’s 40-game unbeaten run in the domestic league.

Malmo, on the other hand, are still atop the Swedish Allsvenskan with 30 points from 14 matches. Having secured a narrow victory during the week, they couldn’t pick up maximum point on their domestic league this weekend as they played out a 0-0 draw against Halmstad. With their 9-game unbeaten run still ongoing, it is then left to see whether they can continue this good form which would, of course, take them to the playoffs.

Rangers vs Malmo Prediction: 2-1

With two losses in their last two games, Steven Gerard and his troops have lots of work to do if they’re to somehow progress to the playoffs round. Malmo, on the flip side, were impressive in the first leg- although not so much during the weekend. As such, we envisage a 1-1 draw with the Swedish side going through on aggregate.
