One of Wednesday's Champions League games is going to be between 2 neighboring country teams - Rangers and Liverpool. After 3 games Rangers is the last team in the group with no points while Liverpool sits in the 2nd position with 6 points. Last week teams met for the first time ever and Liverpool won by 2 goals although the Rangers had some good chances as well.

Rangers haven't scored in this Champions League season but last weekend they got a confidence boost as they crushed St. Mirren with a score of 4:0. It's not like Liverpool players flew to Glasgow in an excellent mood because in the Premier League game the team lost to Arsenal. Liverpool right now is only in 10th position in the standings and there's much room for improvement.

There's a big chance that the Rangers will solve the problem of scoring tonight. Liverpool has kept clean sheets only three times in the last 14 games and they won't be as dominant as they were last week. Visitors' problems on the defense can see also from the xG perspective. The expected goal-against rating in the away games for Liverpool is 2.12 but for Rangers, in home games, it has been 1.69. One thing tas goes in favor of the Rangers is that Liverpool hasn't won a single game on the road this season.

The Rangers had only 1 home game so far in the tournament and they were playing very well against Napoli as they had more shots on target in the first half. In the second part of the game, Rangers got a red card and Napoli used 1 men's advantage. Liverpool in the only away game couldn't do a thing visiting Napoli where they lost 1:4.

Rangers head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst said that a different approach will be necessary tonight. The home team could strengthen the defense even more and James Sands could be back in the lineup after serving a 1 game suspension. Liverpool is going to be without Luis Diaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold who suffered injuries in the last Premier League game.

Of course, Liverpool is the favorite here. There's no doubt about that but the team isn't in the best shape at this point and playing on the round is a much different thing. We know that every team gets an extra boost in front of their fans when playing against the best football teams and now we are talking about the Scottish team so the Rangers will be very motivated. In this case, I'm very confident that the Rangers won't lose with more than 1 goal.

周三的一场欧冠比赛将在两支邻国球队之间进行——流浪者队和利物浦队。3场比赛过后，流浪者成为小组中最后一支没有得分的球队，而利物浦则以6分排名第二。上周两队首次相遇，利物浦2球取胜，不过流浪者也有一些不错的机会。

流浪者本赛季还没有在欧冠联赛中取得进球，但上周末他们以4:0的比分大胜圣米伦，信心大增。利物浦球员并没有因为在英超比赛中输给阿森纳而心情愉快地飞到格拉斯哥。利物浦现在只排在积分榜的第10位，还有很大的提升空间。

流浪者今晚很有可能解决得分问题。利物浦在过去的14场比赛中只有3场没有失球，他们不会像上周那样有统治力。访问者在防守上的问题也可以从xG的角度来看。利物浦在客场的预期进球率是2.12，而流浪者在主场的预期进球率是1.69。有一件事对流浪者有利，那就是利物浦本赛季在客场没有赢过一场比赛。

到目前为止，流浪者在联赛中只有1场主场比赛，他们在对阵那不勒斯的比赛中表现非常好，上半场他们有更多的射正次数。下半场，流浪者得到一张红牌，那不勒斯利用1人优势。利物浦在唯一的一场客场比赛中没有做任何事，他们客场1比4输给了那不勒斯。

流浪者队主教练乔瓦尼·范·布朗克霍斯特说今晚有必要采取不同的方法。主队可以进一步加强防守，詹姆斯·桑兹可能会在停赛1场后回归阵容。利物浦将失去路易斯·迪亚兹和特伦特·亚历山大-阿诺德，他们在上一场英超比赛中受伤。

当然，利物浦是这里最受欢迎的球队。这是毫无疑问的，但球队目前的状态并不是最好的，在这轮比赛中比赛是完全不同的事情。我们知道每支球队在面对最好的球队时都能在球迷面前获得额外的提升，现在我们谈论的是苏格兰球队，所以流浪者队会非常有动力。在这种情况下，我非常有信心流浪者不会输掉超过1球的比赛。
