Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Porto
Match Time & Date:
24/10/2019
12:55 PM
Prediction: 2-1
Rangers
All eyes will be on Estadio do Dragao when Porto and Rangers face each other in the Group G derby on Thursday evening. Porto kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 2-1 win over Young Boys, but they failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Feyenoord in Rotterdam in their second group game.
The Dragons aim to get back on course and since they are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that they are going to pick up all three points from Thursday’s football match against the Scottish Premier League leaders. Steven Gerrard is doing a great job with the Gers, but beating Porto on the road is easier said than done. Rangers were beaten by Young Boys in their first away game of the process, which is yet another reason why we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Portuguese outfit.
Highlighted Player (Shoya Nakajima):
Born in Hachioji, Tokyo on August 23, 1994, Shoya Nakajima is a Japanese footballer who plays for Porto as a winger. Nakajima is a product of his hometown club Tokyo Verdy and he continued playing for the capital club at senior level, scoring 6 goals in 29 appearances for the Ajinomoto Stadium Chofu outfit.
In 2014 he moved to fellow capital club FC Tokyo and after ending his loan spells with the likes of Kataller Toyama and Portimonense, he signed a permanent deal with the Portuguese club. After scoring only one goal in seven appearances for Al-Duhail, Shoya Nakajima moved to Porto in 2019, signing a five-year deal with the Primeira Liga outfit.
Nakajima made his debut with the Japanese national team on March 23, 2018 against Mali, scoring the only foal for the Samurai Blue in the 1-1 draw with the African side. His preferred foot is right and his main position is right midfield.
Highlighted Team (Rangers):
Glasgow Rangers are one of the two synonyms for Scottish Football. Glasgow Rangers were founded back in 1872 and they have been playing an important role in the Scottish top flight ever since. The Gers won their 54th Scottish Premier League title in the 2010/2011 season, but winning of European Cup Winners’ Cup trophy in 1972 is considered the club’s biggest success.
Glasgow Rangers defeated Dynamo Moscow in the final of the competition, with the likes of Stein and Johnston (two goals) scoring for the Scottish side. Celtic are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two teams meet in the Old Firm derby. The likes of Paul Gascoigne, David Weir, Stefan Klos, Chris Boyd, Ian Durrant and Kenny Miller are some of Rangers’ former notable players.
It has to be noted that the Gers welcome their rivals at Ibrox Stadium, the venue with the capacity of 50,817. Rangers’ support is largely drawn from the Protestant Unionist community.
