Carlos Forbs To Score Anytime
The Portuguese winger Carlos Forbs has settled into his new role at Club Brugge remarkably well, quickly becoming a creative outlet and consistent attacking threat. His direct running and willingness to take on defenders have stretched opposition defences in Europe this season, and with Brugge already boasting a two-goal cushion from the first leg, he is likely to get more space to exploit as Rangers chase the game.
Rangers’ backline has been anything but secure. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their competitive fixtures this season, conceding at home to lesser opposition and struggling away in Europe. With Tavernier and Souttar often left exposed, Forbs should find opportunities in behind.
He has been heavily involved in chance creation, but his willingness to drift centrally also increases his goalscoring potential. Against a Rangers side who must commit men forward, the youngster could easily capitalise on transitions. Backing him to find the net looks a shrewd move.

Jorne Spileers To Be Carded
At just 19 years old, Jorne Spileers has become a trusted option in the Brugge defence, but his youthful exuberance can often get the better of him. Tasked with containing quick forwards, he has shown a tendency to mistime challenges, something that has already been evident in Europe.
Rangers will likely push hard from the start in an attempt to overturn their deficit, and with Danilo and Gassama making darting runs, Spileers could be put under significant pressure. The youngster was on the scoresheet in the first leg but has also been guilty of committing unnecessary fouls when dragged out wide or forced into one-on-one duels.
In European knockout football, defenders often err on the side of aggression when games open up. With Brugge likely to come under spells of pressure, Spileers’ eagerness to step in could easily lead to a booking. Given the pace he will face, the value on him being cautioned is strong.

Over 10 Corners
Both Club Brugge and Rangers have attacking approaches that naturally generate plenty of corners. Brugge’s wide play, with Forbs and Tzolis cutting inside or firing in crosses, forces blocks and deflections. Meanwhile, Rangers rely heavily on set-pieces, with James Tavernier leading their delivery from both flanks.
In the first leg at Ibrox, Rangers pushed numbers forward and had several efforts deflected behind. They will need to adopt a similar attacking approach away from home if they are to have any chance of rescuing the tie. That desperation often leads to speculative shots and forced balls into the box, both of which drive corner counts upwards.
Brugge, too, will not simply sit back. Nicky Hayen’s men favour aggressive transitions and have averaged a high number of corners in domestic competition. With both teams looking to attack in different phases, this contest has all the makings of a high-corner affair.ing intent, they’re strong candidates to register the first corner of the night in Almaty.
