🔵 Teething Problems for Teddy Bears

Rangers’ early performances under Russell Martin have shown that they will have teething problems to work through, particularly with their build-up play from the back. It seems obvious some of the Gers’ players are uncomfortable with the switch to a short-passing possession game. 

The Light Blues were second best for long spells when drawing 1-1 away at Motherwell on Saturday, losing the xG battle 2.21 to 0.70 while the shot count was 17-15 in the hosts’ favour. Too often did the Rangers back-line leave space in behind and get caught out in possession, with the four yellow cards they racked up further highlighting the early struggles they are experiencing with Martin’s methods.

🔴 Pleasing Performance for Plzen

After falling to a 1-0 defeat at home to Servette in the first leg of their second round qualifier, Viktoria Plzen staged an impressive comeback to win 3-1 in last week’s return match in Switzerland. The underlying data suggests that Miroslav Koubek’s men were worthy winners, recording an xG of 1.81 to Servette’s 1.28 while they landed eight on-target efforts in comparison to their hosts’ five. 

The Czech outfit have collected four points from their opening two Czech First League matches of the season, putting Pardubice to the sword 5-1 before being held to a 1-1 draw by Jablonec. Having had a free weekend, the visitors will certainly be the fresher of the two teams ahead of this week’s first leg in Glasgow.
