Djeidi Gassama to Score

The summer signing has become a crucial figure in Russell Martin’s attacking line-up, regularly deployed in wide areas where his pace and direct dribbling create danger. Against Hibernian, Gassama was central to Rangers’ brighter moments, and his willingness to run at defenders often puts him into promising shooting positions. With Bojan Miovski leading the line and drawing centre-backs towards him, spaces are created for Gassama to cut inside and get efforts away.

The visitors have been leaky at the back, conceding heavily in recent weeks, including three against Lech Poznan in European qualifying and dropping valuable points in the league due to defensive lapses. Genk’s back four have struggled with runners from wide positions, which suits Gassama’s strengths perfectly. Playing in front of an Ibrox crowd desperate for goals, he will be urged forward throughout the ninety minutes, increasing the likelihood of him registering on the scoresheet.

Given Genk’s lack of defensive discipline and Rangers’ need to build momentum, this could be the ideal stage for Gassama to open his European account. His speed, confidence on the ball, and knack for timing runs make him a strong candidate to find the net in this encounter.

Rangers to Win

Rangers have endured a chaotic start to their campaign, including the humiliation of a 9-1 aggregate defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League playoff. However, their cup victory over Hibernian showed signs of recovery, and with pressure on Russell Martin to deliver, the Europa League opener offers a chance for redemption. Playing at Ibrox is always a significant advantage; the atmosphere is hostile for visiting sides and often drives Rangers to lift their game beyond what their domestic form might suggest.

While inconsistent, Rangers’ squad still boasts leaders such as James Tavernier, whose attacking contribution from full-back remains a vital weapon. Alongside Tavernier, midfielders like Nico Raskin and Thelo Aasgaard provide balance, while Miovski looks ready to grow into his role as the primary striker. Genk, by contrast, arrive in Glasgow winless in three matches and with only three victories in their last ten competitive outings. Thorsten Fink’s side have struggled to translate their potential into results, dropping to mid-table in Belgium and lacking confidence away from home.

The contrast between Rangers’ need for a strong response and Genk’s fragile form tips the balance towards a home victory. Ibrox has historically been a difficult venue for continental opponents, and with supporters demanding a reaction, Rangers have every reason to come out on top.

Both Teams to Score

Despite their shortcomings, Genk remain a side with attacking options capable of breaching even well-organised defences. Zakaria El Ouahdi, unusually prolific for a right-back, leads their scoring charts this season and consistently provides a threat from deep areas. Alongside him, Joseph Paintsil Ito and other creative midfielders ensure that Fink’s team always carry an element of danger, even when results have been poor.

Rangers themselves have shown defensive vulnerabilities, most notably in their two-legged collapse against Club Brugge, conceding nine goals in the process. While the Scottish side will expect to dominate at Ibrox, it is difficult to ignore how frequently they have been exposed at the back. John Souttar and Connor Cornelius have yet to establish a convincing partnership, and opponents often find joy exploiting the spaces behind Rangers’ full-backs.

For these reasons, it seems plausible that both sides will find the net. Rangers should carve out chances with their lively forward line, but their inconsistency at the back means Genk have every opportunity to score as well. The combination of Rangers’ push for victory and Genk’s counter-attacking strengths suggests goals at both ends of the pitch.
