The Matchday 4 encounter in the 2025/26 Europa League group stage between Rangers (Scotland) and Roma (Italy) will take place on November 6 at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. Rangers vs. Roma: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Rangers
The Scots have had a disappointing start to the Europa League group stage. In the first round, the team suffered a home defeat to Genk (0-1), followed by a 1-2 loss away to Sturm Graz. As a result, Rangers, alongside three other clubs with zero points, find themselves at the bottom of the standings, occupying the last place due to an inferior goal difference. It is also worth noting that Rangers have not won in their last six Europa League encounters (1 draw, 5 losses).
- The team has not won in 7 of their last 9 home matches in the Europa League (3 draws, 4 losses).
- The club has not conceded more than one goal in 12 of their last 14 home games in this European competition.
- At least one opponent failed to score in 5 of Rangers' last 6 Europa League matches.
Predicted lineup for Rangers (4-5-1)
Jack Butland – John Souttar, James Tavernier, Derek Cornelius, Jayden Megoma – Nicolas Raskin, Connor Barron, Jaydi Gassama, Mikey Moore, Oliver Antman – Youssef Chermiti.
Roma
Gian Piero Gasperini's side unexpectedly lost 1-2 at home to Viktoria Plzen in the last round. Consequently, Roma have suffered three defeats in their last four Europa League matches. Additionally, the team has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven games in this European competition. The Italians, with three points, are in 15th place in the standings.
- The club has not won in 7 of their last 8 away matches in the Europa League (4 draws, 3 losses).
- The team has conceded in their last eight away games in this European competition.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of Roma's last 6 away matches in the Europa League.

Rangers vs. Roma: Match Prediction
Although the Scots do not consistently perform well in home matches on the European stage, they strive to achieve positive results until the end. Primarily, Rangers stand out for their solid defensive play: in their last 14 home matches in the Europa League, they have conceded more than one goal only twice. Additionally, they managed to keep a clean sheet in four of these encounters.
The Romans do not feel as comfortable away as they do at home. Moreover, the team cannot boast high scoring efficiency: in their last 13 away Europa League matches, Roma players have not exceeded one goal. Furthermore, in four encounters during this period, the Italians did not score at all.
I believe the hosts will manage to contain Roma's attack and not concede more than one goal. My prediction: Roma individual total under 1.5
