Rangers form and stats
Rangers are steadily winning Premiership games and points here at Ibrox Stadium. 5 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 8 games. Rangers has a nice streak going on as they have played 15 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Dundee United defeat 130 days ago.
Rangers are confident in defense, having played 330 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A good away victory last time out for Rangers, who won 2-0 against Hearts (placed 3rd). Rangers goalkeeper McGregor did an outstanding job against Hearts with eight saves, so vital to securing the victory. Allan McGregor, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 9.12 out of 10 in that game. McGregor stopped the opponent with eight saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
1-1 away at Olympique Lyonnais before that.It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Rangers have performed as huge favourites like they are today: ten games found in the database showing nine Rangers wins, zero draws and one defeat.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premiership game versus Dundee United in only three days. This game is also played here at Ibrox Stadium.
The Rangers manager van Bronckhorst has got the team scoring with 17 from 8 home games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Rangers have conceded only 7 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
St. Johnstone form and stats
Playing away, St. Johnstone have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the Premiership this season. Recent form does not give Johnstone much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Rangers will be a tough nut to crack.
St. Johnstone are looking to quickly end their 230 minutes long goal drought in the Premiership.
Johnstone's previous game was their home loss versus Aberdeen (0-1). Midfielder Shaun Rooney was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.62. Rooney dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Dundee's place.Johnstone have another match away from home in just three days, a Premiership game versus Motherwell. A demanding calendar for the visiting team!
Johnstone are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 7 away games. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far). It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
