Rangers V Werder Bremen

Important clash for both sides here tonight in what will be a very cagey affair in my view. Rangers have scored more goals away from Ibrox in Europe this season and go into this game having not scored in their last three European games at home, against Barcelona, Lyon and Panathinaikos.

Rangers are in goo form at the moment and are currently on an nineteen game unbeaten run in all competitions since their Champions League defeat at Ibrox to Lyon in January.

Rangers results on the road have been a bit more impressive which leads me to believe that keeping a clean sheet tonight will be a priority for them. Away goals are crucial and if they can achieve a 0 - 0 tonight then they will quietly fancy their chances in the next leg.

Werder Bremen are currently the main challengers to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and the favourites to progress to the next round. In Diego they have one of the best playmakers around and Rangers will need to keep a close eye on him. They seem to keep their best performances for their home games and have struggled to score on the road at times with just two goals away from home in the group stages of the Champions League and a slender 1-0 victory over Braga in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup.

Verdict

I cant see too many goals in this one. rangers will be happy to prevent Werder from scoring the crucial away goal and so should defend accordingly. Werder on the other hand will seek out that away goal but will still not want to concede either as this may leave a mountain to climb for the return leg. Over the two legs i think Bremen will do enough to progress but tonight i think 0 - 0 scoreline is a good looking selection as is under 2.5 goals
