I think Club Brugge look well placed to come out of Ibrox relatively unscathed on Tuesday night, making the visitors an appealing Double Chance selection. Nicky Hayen’s side surpassed expectations in last season’s Champions League, reaching the round of 16 after eliminating Atalanta in the play-off round.  I was really impressed with Club Brugge’s display when drawing 1-1 with Celtic during the new look league phase last term, and thought they were unfortunate not to come away from Celtic Park with all three points.

The Blue-Black have started the new season in impressive fashion, winning six of their opening seven contests of the campaign, defeating RB Salzburg in both legs of their third round qualifier. 

Rangers, on the other hand, have produced a number of performances during the early weeks of the season that have left a lot to be desired. What’s more, there was more than a hint of good fortune about the Gers getting past both Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen, and I suspect their luck could run out against Club Brugge.

While first legs can often be quite cagey affairs, I just can’t see that being the case here given how open Rangers have been under Russell Martin thus far. As such, I’m more than happy to back both teams to get on the scoresheet at Ibrox on Tuesday night.

There have been goals at both ends in five of Rangers’ last six matches across all competitions, including recent home games with the likes of Dundee and Alloa. 

While Club Brugge have made a strong start to the season, they have failed to silence their opponents in four of their opening seven contests of the campaign, shipping multiple goals at home to RB Salzburg last midweek. 

Despite their unconvincing start to the season, Rangers have scored in each of their seven outings to date, suggesting that there is a strong chance that they could land a blow on Club Brugge’s backline.

Rangers have not looked at ease whatsoever with the possession-based style of play that new manager Russell Martin is trying to implement. That can be attributed to the fact that the Gers have picked up multiple bookings in a number of their matches over the first month of the season. In fact, Rangers have tackled their way into trouble at least twice in three of their previous four Champions League qualifiers. 

On top of that, Rangers racked up 4 yellow cards away at Motherwell on the opening day of the Scottish Premiership season while they received 2 yellows and 1 red card when hosting Dundee just one week later. 

With that in mind, I think there is plenty of scope for Martin’s men to collect at least two cards against a Club Brugge side that have some classy operators within their ranks. The visitors have drawn a minimum of two bookings from three of their four opponents in this season’s Belgian Pro League.

Look for Club Brugge to earn a minimum of 4 corners at Ibrox on Tuesday night. Nicky Hayen’s side comfortably covered the 4+ flag kick line in each leg of their 3rd round qualifier with RB Salzburg, hitting 6 away from home before delivering 8 in last week’s return match. What’s more, the Blue-Black have averaged 7.25 corners per 90 across their opening four Belgian Pro League matches of the season. 

As for Rangers, they have had to defend a minimum of 4 corners in each of their four Champions League qualifiers so far, with Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen earning 6 and 5 flag kicks on their respective trips to Glasgow. It's also worth noting that Dundee clocked up 4 corners during their recent visit to Ibrox.
