Head-to-head statistics Rangers (W) - Hammarby

In August, Rangers hosted a Champions League qualifying mini-tournament, where Crichton's side beat Slavia in extra time before losing to Ajax in the decisive match. That result is how Rangers ended up in the Women's Cup of Europe. In Stockholm, Crichton's team started brightly and applied pressure but could not find a way past Hämmarbÿ's goalkeeper.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Rangers need to overturn a two-goal deficit, and they have scored in 17 consecutive home matches. Hammarby offer the same threat going forward: the visitors have scored in 20 consecutive away matches. The margin for error for Rangers is slim. One goal for the visitors and the hosts would need three of their own just to force extra time. Low-scoring affairs are rare for Rangers: more than two goals combined were scored in 8 of their last 9 matches. We're expecting goals at both ends and more than two goals in total. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-2.
