Lech Poznań form and stats
Lech Poznań have collected 9 points from their Ekstraklasa home games so far after 2-3-0. 5W-0D-4L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Europa League for Lech Poznań. In general it's been a long time since Poznań tasted defeat here at INEA stadion, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.
The Poznań supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Podbeskidzie in Ekstraklasa and win 4-0. A Europa League defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Benfica.
As mentioned above, Poznań "killed" Podbeskidzie in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There will be little rest for Lech Poznań after this match as they are travelling to Stal Mielec for a Ekstraklasa game in only three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (11 in 5 games), Lech Poznań's attacking play is working. Lech Poznań have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Rangers form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the 8th finals against Bayer Leverkusen.When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 6W-2D-0L. This is both home and away. Things are running smoothly for Rangers who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 17 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Hamilton Academical. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Kilmarnock game have they lost an away game, meaning Rangers has taken points from ten away matches in a row.
Rangers play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-0 victory visiting Ross County. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Standard Liège in the Europa League.
As mentioned above, Rangers was the only team on the pitch versus Ross County in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rangers manager S. Gerrard as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Dundee United.
