Rangers vs Roma Preview and Team News

Rangers Team News

Rangers’ dreadful season went from bad to worse on Sunday, when they suffered a disappointing 1-3 extra-time defeat against their bitter rivals, Celtic, in the latest edition of the “Old Firm” derby. 

That defeat not only eliminated Rangers from the Scottish League Cup but also snapped an incipient two-game winning run that had fans excited about a potential turnaround in their subpar campaign.

The Scottish Premier League giants already changed manager midway through the season due to their poor results, but they’ve still won just four of their previous 10 encounters across all competitions (W4, D2, L4). 

Not even playing in the friendly confines of Ibrox Stadium has given Rangers an edge. They lost their lone Europa League match at this venue (0-1 to Genk) and have won just two of their last seven here (W2, D2, L3).

Given their poor run of results despite the managerial change, it’s hard to imagine Rangers having a realistic chance to pull off an upset against a superior squad. To make things even more complicated, the team have looked drastically overmatched in the Europa League. They’ve lost their three games, failed to score twice, and conceded six in total.

Rangers predicted lineup vs Roma (3-4-2-1): Butland; Djiga, Souttar, Cornelius; Tavernier, Raskin, Diomande, Meghoma; Danilo Pereira, Aasgaard; Chermiti.

Roma Team News

Roma were one of the best Serie A clubs in the early stages of the 2025-26 season, but their impressive start to the campaign only looks like a distant memory now. The Giallorossi won five of their first six matches across all competitions (L1), yet they’ve lost four of their last seven (W3), including a disappointing 0-1 home defeat to Lille in their second Europa League fixture.

Despite having an elite-level squad and being one of the favourites to win the Europa League on paper, their campaign has been disappointing. Roma have lost two of their three outings so far, defeating Nice but losing to Lille and Viktoria Plzen. Additionally, the team are coming off a 1-0 loss to AC Milan in the Serie A this past weekend, so they shouldn’t have a lot of confidence ahead of this contest.

Given all the struggles they’ve endured in recent weeks, this game looks like an ideal opportunity for Roma to turn things around. They’re facing another struggling side, but the Italian outfit hold a clear edge thanks to their superior experience and individual talent. 

Winning here would do wonders for Roma’s confidence, and considering they’ve won five of six away encounters this season (L1), the Serie A giants should have a decent chance to get back to winning ways on this trip to Scotland.

Roma predicted lineup vs Rangers (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Mario Hermoso; Celik, Pellegrini, Kone, Wesley França; Dybala, Soulé; Dovbyk.

Rangers vs Roma Prediction, Odds

It’s hard to trust either side, given the struggles both have endured. A draw wouldn’t be the worst outcome, but Roma have yet to record one in all competitions this season (W8, L5). Given the Serie A club’s outstanding form on the road and Rangers’ recent struggles at home, it wouldn’t be shocking to see them get the win here.

A victory for the Giallorossi would allow them to get their European campaign back on track following the loss to Viktoria Plzen in the previous round. It won’t be easy, as another defeat would practically sentence Rangers’ elimination from the tournament. However, in what’s shaping up to be an intense game, Roma’s superior individual quality should allow them to return home with all three points.

Rangers vs Roma Betting Tip

Six of Rangers’ last eight matches have ended with both teams finding the back of the net, although that has happened only once in this Europa League campaign. Still, this is a make-or-break game for the Scottish side, so they’re not expected to sit back and play defensively. They should deploy a positive approach as they aim to pull off an upset against Roma, who look stronger on paper.

The Italian outfit haven’t exactly been involved in many high-scoring affairs, but it’s worth noting that two of their three Europa League encounters this term have seen both clubs find the net – both ended with a 2-1 final score (W1, L1). Roma should have enough quality to get on the scoresheet in this trip to Scotland, but since they’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last seven outings (W3, L4), a scenario where both teams score looks entirely plausible.
