Rangers Vs Bursaspor UEFA Champions League Football Preview

Rangers vs Bursaspor

Reigning Scottish champions Rangers host Super Lig winners Bursaspor at the Ibrox Stadium, in the second match of the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League competition.

Glasgow Rangers will be hoping to continue their fine form in the European football competition, with Walter Smith’s men having held heavyweights Manchester United to an impressive 0-0 draw in their opening match at Old Trafford.

It was a solid defensive display in Manchester, that saw the current Scottish Premier League title holders frustrate and deny United the three points in front of almost 75,000 fans.

With the Glasgow faithful behind them on Tuesday night, The Gers will be hoping that defence turns to offence, and that leading team scorer Kenny Miller can continue with the fine form in this Rangers vs Bursaspor match that has seen him already score 10 goals for his side this season.

However, Turkish champions Bursaspor will certainly not lie down in Scotland on Tuesday night.

The side from Turkey defeated Bucaspor 1-0 on Friday, and currently sit top of the table, with five wins from five matches.

In spite of being thrashed 4-0 by Valencia on Match Day One of this competition, Yesil Timsahlar (The Green Crocodiles) will be keen to ensure that a repeat result doesn’t occur against the Teddy Bears.

Both teams haven’t met before, so it will certainly be an interesting clash.

With the home advantage, Rangers should see off Bursaspor, in what could be a very tightly contested fixture.

Prediction: Rangers 2 – 1 Bursaspor.
