Head-to-head statistics Rangers - Saint Etienne
Rangers Team Overview
Rangers badly let themselves down in the most important part of last season, losing 4 of their 5 championship group matches and finishing no better than third in Scotland. Their attack stands out, though: they scored more than anyone else in the league, averaging exactly two goals per game. In preseason, the Scots tend to play open football against comparable opposition, last year's draws with Brugge (2-2) and Middlesbrough (2-2) being the obvious examples. Goals came at both ends in 6 of their last 7 friendlies, which suggests Rangers aren't interested in adjusting to the opponent, they play their own game regardless.

βοΈ Editor's Prediction
Both sides put a lot more emphasis on attack than defence. That should make for a high-scoring game with goals at both ends. Five straight matches involving Rangers have featured at least one exchange of goals. Given Saint-Γtienne's ability to compete against stronger opponents even after dropping out of the top flight, Both Teams To Score - Yes looks like the right call here.
