Livingston vs Rangers PREVIEW & PREDICTION 16/08/2020

On Sunday, at 16:30, Livingston receives a visit from Glasgow Rangers, in the 4th round of the Scottish Premier League. Without Lithgrow, injured, the hosts hope to withstand the attacks “directed” by Ianis Hagi, given that Rangers is the big favorite for success, away. The statistics are definitely on the white-blue side.

Defoe and Katic are injured at Rangers, but Roofe promises to be dangerous in the white-and-blue offensive. Rangers has the maximum score after three matches (7-0 goal difference) and has real chances for the title, especially since Celtic is crushed by some internal problems. Livingston is not a scary team, not by far: 10th place, with a single draw in three stages and a modest goal difference, 3-7.

So far, the Rangers have trained with Aberdeen (1-0), St. Mirren (3-0) and St. Johnstone (3-0), but still regrets the elimination from the Europa League, where he gave up after a great match with Bayer Leverkusen (0-1 in return). Overall, Rangers has every reason to be optimistic internally and it is worth trying a bet on the Glasgow band. Livingston comes after failures with St. Mirren (0-1) and Hibernian (1-4) and a draw with Motherwell (2-2).

It can be seen that the yellow-blacks receive goals quite easily, and Rangers has six consecutive victories in direct duels, five of them at zero! On their last visit to Ibrox Park, Livingston lost 0-1, and the Rangers won 2-0 at Almondvale Stadium. In 2019, the goals of Aribo and Morelos made the difference, in a match clearly dominated by the guests: 60% possession, 4-1 corner ratio, 17 free kicks executed and 13-5 sutures ratio. We bet once again on a good match made by the team coached by Steven Gerrard.
