Rangers will be looking to go one better on Thursday having been held to a draw with Benfica three weeks ago. Steven Gerrard’s side managed to throw away a 3-1 lead in Lisbon. The Scottish league leaders will fancy their chance, even more, this time around given Benfica’s long list of absentees.
Rangers let a 3-1 lead slip in Lisbon when these two sides met for the first time, but we think that Steven Gerrard’s men will claim a big scalp in our predictions for this clash.
