Europa League, Thursday, 23/01/2025 at 9:00 p.m.
Maybe you get directly into the knockout round in the European Cup without play-offs, that would at least loosen up the current situation a bit! Admittedly, you have to get creative if you want to get something positive out of the Manchester United crisis.
In our Europa League tips, the Red Devils are doing well, but it is also clear:
the competition is more of a consolation prize. In my Manchester United Glasgow Rangers betting tip, it is therefore not said that the points on Thursday will all remain at Old Trafford.
KI-Prognose Manchester United vs Glasgow Rangers: That’s what ChatGPT tips
High, medium or low risk? If you ask ChatGPT for tips on what could be tipped for the game between Manchester United and Glasgow Rangers, you will again be presented with three completely different levels.
The very risky tip this time is an away win for the visitors. Realistic? I’ll put it this way: the Red Devils have tended to win their EL games by a narrow margin, but they are in crisis in the league. Therefore, a Rangers win cannot be ruled out for me!
How many goals will be scored at Old Trafford? The AI suggests Over 3.5. That would have been correct for the guests three times, twice for United. I am relatively unsure how spectacular it will be, but I think Over 3.5 is just as likely as Under 2.5!
Since I’m betting on a BTS, I can only agree with the AI suggestion for low risk: Rangers will score! I think United are just too inconsistent for me to see a clean sheet here.
Analysis: Manchester United vs Glasgow Rangers
It’s a crisis that has many faces. A crisis that many can only bear with gallows humor. A crisis that just won’t end. Manchester United are trailing them by miles, the glory days of yore.
The Red Devils are in the doldrums, and a 13th place in the Premier League, 24 points behind the top team (with one game more!), quickly shows what the team is made of.
Seven wins in 22 rounds, a goal difference of -5, the fans don’t even want to look anymore. How much consolation is it really that there has not yet been a defeat in the Europa League? Actually, you only accept the premier class.
And let’s be honest: Twente Enschede, Porto, Fenerbahce, PAOK Saloniki, Bodö/Glimt and Viktoria Pilsen? If you’re Manchester United, you shouldn’t expect less than 13 points!
Odds Analysis
It’s definitely not easy being a Manchester United fan these days. Since Rangers had to play catch-up in the Europa League, I can well imagine the double chance X2 at half-time.
At Interwetten, this leads to odds of 1.90. Do you want a significantly higher value? Then you can also bet on the underdog taking the lead, after all, this has already happened three times in this international season. Now the odds jump up to 6.25!
TOO risky? Then simply use your Interwetten Freebet for this. If I had to choose one result bet, I would go for a 1:1 – both teams have already scored twice. With odds of 8.25, this is more than profitable.
Manchester United vs. Glasgow Rangers: Will the favorites keep their nerve?
1:1 against Twente, 3:3 against Porto and 1:1 against Fenerbahce, there were no wins at the beginning of the competition anyway. Three times a lead was not enough, against Porto it was even 2:0 in the meantime.
At least the 2-0 win over PAOK was the first three points, followed by a 3-2 win over Bodö and a 2-1 win over Pilsen. Rasmus Hojlund is to thank for the nine points from three games.
The forward has scored five goals, so naturally he has big plans for this matchday. The fans won’t like it, but I still have to take a look at the Premier League at this point.
Don’t underestimate Glasgow!
Two wins from their last nine games, but six defeats, including a 3-1 loss to Brighton in their last game. While the title race is heating up, United are falling further and further behind.
Away wins in the entire season so far? Two: a last-gasp 2-1 win against Manchester City and a 3-0 win at bottom-of-the-league Southampton. The fact that they play at home on Thursday is certainly an advantage.
United will face Glasgow Rangers for the fourth time, having met twice in 2003 and 2010. I wouldn’t read too much into the fact that the English team have yet to concede a goal in three wins and a draw. After all, Wayne Rooney scored the winning goal in the last meeting.
The visitors from Glasgow can play quite freely anyway, because so far they have played a really strong preliminary round. Although they made a major mistake in the 4-1 defeat to Lyon, that is long forgotten.
2-0 against Malmö, 4-0 against Steau, 4-1 against Nice, plus the two 1-1 draws against Tottenham and Olympiakos Piräus? The Scots are actually fighting for a direct place in the next round!
With two wins and a draw, the numbers look particularly good away from home, especially since Nice is really not a “small” opponent. Rangers have kept five clean sheets in the first half, only really faltering in that 4-1 defeat to Lyon.
With Hamza Igamane and Vaclav Cerny, there are two very accurate stars in the squad who have scored seven goals between them in the Europa League. And with all three league games this year seeing treble scorers, even against Celtic, Rangers look to be in really good form up front!
My Man United Glasgow Rangers Tip
Manchester United should not take any opponent for granted, neither in the Premier nor in the Europa League. I almost feel a bit sorry for the Red Devils, because their performances in international competition have not exactly been brilliant either.
The team dutifully recorded three wins and three draws. Glasgow Rangers will certainly play with confidence because they have nothing to lose and are in really strong form.
I really like them away from home in the Europa League, they even scored four times against Nice. Since I think Manchester just staggers through the competitions with far too much inconsistency, I think a win to nil is rather out of the question and therefore predict:
United and the Rangers score!
