Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Rangers
Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 2-0
Malmo
Rangers will be aiming to overcome a one-goal deficit in the tie with Malmo when the two teams take on each other at Ibrox Stadium on Tuesday evening. Steven Gerard’s troops scored a vital away goal in the stoppage time, but they still need a big win in the return leg if they are to make it to the playoffs. Since both Kemar Roofe and Glen Kamara return from suspensions, home win should be considered.
Ryan Jack is pushing for a start after recovering from a calf injury. Malmo, on the other hand, are on a quest to defend their slim lead in Glasgow. Considering that Rangers have turned their Ibrox Stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the Swedes are going to return home empty-handed. Ola Toivonen remains on the sidelines through injury for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Jon McLaughlin):
Jon McLaughlin is a goalkeeper who plays for Sunderland. The 188-cm-tall shoot-stopper played for non-League sides Harrogate Railway Athletic and Harrogate Town in the past, but in 2008 he joined Bradford City. After spending six years at Valley Parade, McLaughlin signed a contract with Burton Albion and he has been playing for the Pirelli Stadium outfit ever since.
Jon McLaughlin made 45 appearances for Burton Albion in both 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons and he has established his self as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper. He was producing scintillating displays for Burton in the 2015/2016 League One campaign and, no doubt, he helped the team secure promotion to the Championship.
Jon McLaughlin was born on 9 September, 1987 in Edinburgh, but he has yet to make his debut for the Scotland national team. Speaking of his honours, the goalkeeper won the Football League Two play-offs with Bradford City in the 2012/2013 season.

Founded on February 24, 1910, Malmo are a Swedish team that compete in Allsvenskan league. The Blues welcome their rivals at Stadion, Malmo, the venue which was opened in April, 2009. It is important to note that the stadium can hold up to 22,500 supporters of which 18,000 are seated.
Malmo are the most successful Swedish side, with the team winning their 23rd domestic trophy in 2017. The Blues finished the season seven points clear of AIK, scoring 63 goals and conceding 27 in the process. Speaking of the club’s European success, Malmo did well to make it to the European Cup final in the 1978/1979 season, but they eventually failed to win the trophy.
