Europa Clash: Rangers’ Cypriot Challenge Against Aris Limassol
Key Stats
– Abdallah Sima, with 5 goals this season, is Rangers’ leading marksman.
– Rangers’ ball possession stands at an impressive 65.1%, showcasing their dominance in matches.
Rangers set foot on Cypriot soil to face Aris Limassol in the Europa League group stages, navigating the challenge of a team hungry for their maiden win. With both clubs sporting different trajectories in European competitions, this clash promises drama, goals, and potential upsets.
Transition at the Top
The Scottish powerhouse, Rangers, are adjusting to life post-Michael Beale, whose exit followed a stinging defeat to Aberdeen. In contrast, their adversaries Aris Limassol, fresh off their inaugural Cypriot First Division title, remain anchored by Aleksey Shpilevsky despite their mixed recent results.
European Journey So Far
Aris began their European adventure in the Champions League qualifiers, breezing past BATE Borisov with an impressive 11-5 aggregate score. However, the elite competition proved a step too far after a 3-1 loss over two legs to Rakow Czestochowa. Relegated to the Europa League, they demonstrated resilience by overcoming Slovan Bratislava 7-4 on aggregate, leading them to their current group-stage sojourn.

Rangers, on the other hand, tasted Champions League football briefly before a 7-3 aggregate defeat to PSV Eindhoven redirected them to the Europa League. Despite domestic challenges, they opened their European campaign on a high, besting Real Betis courtesy of Abdallah Sima’s decisive strike.
Form Analysis
While Aris Limassol’s impressive victory over BATE Borisov showcased their potential, their recent form has been inconsistent. Their journey in the group stages began on a sour note with a defeat to Sparta Prague, and domestically, their title defence is off to a shaky start.
Rangers’ journey paints a contrasting picture. Though their Scottish Premiership campaign has seen them stumble, especially with a fresh loss to Aberdeen, their European exploits have been commendable, having defeated Real Betis and making it to the finals in the previous term.
Team Line-ups and Key Players
Aris Limassol’s Babicka, after his recent goal from the bench, might be pushing for a starting berth. The attacking department has Stepinski and Gomis, with 7 and 6 goals respectively this season, indicating their attacking prowess. In midfield, the reliable Struski might be paired with Julius Szoke.
Rangers’ injury concerns persist, particularly in the midfield and attack. With key players sidelined, Davis might stick to the triumvirate of Lundstram, Jack, and Cifuentes in the middle, while the formidable Sima, boasting five goals this term, will likely spearhead the attack.
Predictions
- Match Outcome: Based on recent form, Rangers seem the stronger side, but Aris Limassol’s hunger for a home victory can’t be discounted. Considering the circumstances, a draw seems plausible.
- Scoreline: Given the attacking talent in both teams and Rangers’ recent defensive frailties, a 2-2 scoreline could be on the horizon.
- Goalscorer: Stepinski and Gomis have been prolific for Aris Limassol, while Sima remains Rangers’ main threat. Predicting Sima to get on the scoresheet seems a safe bet.
- Corner Tally: Aris Limassol will likely push the attack at home, potentially winning more corners. However, given both teams’ attacking nature, we could see a combined total of 10 corners in the game.
