On October 4, Liverpool will play host to Rangers in the Champions League. Do the visitors have a chance? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Liverpool
EnglandLast year, Liverpool won all six group games in the Champions League. In the new edition of the tournament, the Reds were off to a rough start - they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Napoli (1:4). In the second game, Liverpool prevailed over Ajax (2:1).
Jurgen Klopp's team has been disappointing at the start of the English Premier League. After the first seven games, Liverpool are in 9th place in the standings with 10 points and 18 goals. In the last two rounds, Liverpool drew against Everton (0:0) and Brighton (3:3).
Robertson, Konate, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Keita, and Jones are all out injured.
Rangers
ScotlandRangers lost the title to their main rivals Celtic last year, but they delivered a solid performance in the Europa League, where the Gers managed to knock out Borussia and Braga. In the final, Rangers lost to Eintracht Frankfurt.
In the summer, the club signed Ben Davies (4.7 million) and Ridvan Yilmaz (4 million). The start in the Scottish Premiership has been successful, and after eight matches, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's team is second with 19 points in the asset. In the last two outings, Rangers beat Dundee United (2:1) and Hearts (4:0).
Souttar, Sands, Ofoborh, Lawrence, Helander, and Hagi have been ruled out.

Tip and bets
The hosts are the favourites in this fixture, but they are having a weak start to the season. Klopp's men are only 9th in the Premier League and failed to defeat Brighton in the last outing. Rangers, on the other hand, are in excellent form. We believe that the Scottish side has a chance and will be backing Rangers here.
Our prediction — Asian handicap (+2) to Rangers
Liverpool probably will not get an easy win in this match. Rangers will strive to take advantage of their hosts' crisis, and we believe they can hold the Reds to yet another draw.
