Sporting Lisbon: 4/6
Rangers: 9/2
Draw: 5/2
Both sides go into this game in gloomy mood after defeats by their bitterest rivals. While Rangers were well beaten by Celtic in their SPL encounter, Sporting spent Monday night getting turned over by city rivals Benfica. Both would like to claim some honour here. Rangers though, really are crippled by injuries, especially up front. With Steven Naismith and Lee McCulloch injured and Nikica Jelavic not eligible, the main option seems to be Kyle Lafferty as a lone striker. Veteran David Weir is also expected to be able to haul his 40 year-old-body through another game.
Sporting defender and captain Daniel Carrico is suspended for this game, but Sporting look to be in a prime position here. They don’t need to do anything here other than get a 0-0 to progress, and Rangers look to be looking attacking punch.
A low scoring game is likely, with Lisbon likely to keep it tight and not commit themselves until late, where they could well snatch a late goal against a tired looking Rangers who will have to attack.
