Match prediction for Porto x Rangers

The teams Porto and Rangers face-off at the Estádio Do Dragão in a Europa League match. There are no recent head-to-head encounters between the two teams, as they have not played against each other in the last 3 years.

In this match, the home factor may play a decisive role since Rangers have shown different performances at home compared to away games.

Porto Analysis

After 4 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, the home team is currently in 9th position, having earned 14 points. In their last match, they drew (1-1) away against Viktoria Plzeň, after previously winning (2-1) at home against Malmö FF. This is a team that is minimally affected by the home factor, as they display similar results at home and away. In their last 30 matches, they have recorded 12 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss as visitors, scoring 28 goals and conceding 6, compared to 13 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss at home, scoring 32 goals and conceding 8. The team arrives at this match following a home victory against Gil Vicente (3-0). Porto has won 9 and lost 1 of their last 10 home matches across all competitions. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded goals in 5 of their last 7 matches, but their attack has been consistently scoring, netting goals in 6 of their last 7 games in this competition. The team typically does not struggle to take the lead: they have managed to score first in 14 of their last 15 matches, successfully maintaining a half-time advantage in 9 of these and keeping the lead until the end of the 90 minutes in 13. In the last 20 home matches in all competitions, there is a highlighted period: they conceded 5 of their 13 goals between the minutes (46′-60′).

Porto comes into this match following a 3-0 victory against Gil Vicente in a game valid for the Portuguese league: goals were scored by William Gomes, Martim Fernandes, and Samu Aghehowa. In their last Europa League match, the hosts drew 1-1 against Viktoria Plzeň. The home team typically aligns in a 4-3-3 tactical setup, with Pepê, Samu Aghehowa, and Borja Sainz taking on key roles in attack. Offensively, the team tends to exploit the right flank, capitalizing on the forward runs of full-back Martim Fernandes to create imbalances. Luuk de Jong and Nehuén Pérez are both unavailable due to injuries.

Confirmed lineup: Diogo Costa, Alberto Costa, Martim Fernandes, Jakub Kiwior, Jan Bednarek, Pablo Rosario, Victor Froholdt, Gabri Veiga, Samu Aghehowa, Pepê, Borja Sainz.
Coach: S. Marceneiro Conceição.

In their last match, they won (1-0) at home against Ludogorets, following a previous loss (2-1) away against Ferencvarosi. This is a team that is affected by the home factor, performing stronger when playing in front of their fans, as in their last 30 games they recorded 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, with a total of 22 goals scored and 22 conceded. At home, they secured 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses, scoring 25 goals and conceding 9. The team comes into this match after a home win against Dundee (3-0). In their last 10 away matches across all competitions, Rangers have won 5, drawn 1, and lost 4. Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, as they have conceded goals in 6 of their last 7 matches in this competition.

In their last Europa League match, the visitors won 1-0 against Ludogorets.
