Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Ibrox Stadium when Rangers and West Ham United lock horns on Sunday. The Gers made a bright start to their preparations by recording a 2-1 victory over St. Etienne, with new signing Lawrence Shankland opening his account for the club. The experienced striker is expected to spearhead the attack once again, while Belgium international Nicolas Raskin returns after an impressive FIFA World Cup campaign. Rangers have been entertaining to watch in recent months, averaging 4.3 goals per game across their last ten matches, with both teams scoring in eight of those fixtures.
West Ham United, meanwhile, are gearing up for life in the Championship after suffering relegation from the Premier League last season. The Hammers boosted their confidence with a commanding 5-0 win over Stevenage in their latest warm-up game, but they have lost key players Mateus Fernandes and Callum Wilson during the summer and are still waiting to complete a marquee signing. Their recent away form remains a concern, with the Londoners failing to win any of their last five matches on the road while averaging just 0.4 goals per game. Given Rangers' encouraging start to preseason and West Ham's struggles away from home, we believe the Scottish giants have the edge.
Rangers look sharper and should make home advantage count. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Rangers' recent matches have regularly produced goals at both ends).
This match will be played on Sunday 26 July 2026 at 16:00.
