Rangers vs Ludogorets Prediction & Betting Tips (22 January)

In this Europa League, Rangers have still not found the recipe for success, committing only one small point, when receiving Braga 1-1. Other than that, they were defeats against Ferencvaros 2-1, AS Roma 0-2, Brann 3-0, Sturm Graz 2-1 and Genk 0-1. In the league, things are better for the Scots, winners of their five previous league days against Motherwell 1-0, St. Mirren 2-1, Celtic 1-3 and Aberdeen twice 2-0 and 0-2. Last week, it was in the national cup that Rangers won, against Annan in the 1/16 finals 5-0. With a total of 7 points, Ludogorets is on the verge of qualifying for the play-offs.

However, we must not rest on our achievements since behind them, the competition is raging with Celtic, Dinamo Zagreb, FC Basel, FCSB and even the G.A Eagles, all on the lookout. The best would be to come and take at least 1 point in Scotland today, as was the case recently against PAOK Salonika at home 3-3. To mention the away posters, the Bulgarian club lost to Ferencvaros 3-1 and Young Boys 3-2 but beat Malmö 1-2. No official match since the start of 2026 but many friendlies including a success against PAKS 2-3 and a draw against the Polish club Rakow 2-2. 

Absent from the last European clash with Ferencvaros, the injured Nedim Bajrami and D.Cornelius are still on the flank unlike the returning John Souttar (starter), Rabbi Matondo, midfielder Dowell (cup scorer) and Oliver Antman. Other elements have meanwhile joined the infirmary, like the crucial Connor Barron (2 assists in the championship) and defender Sterling. Preserved in the cup, James Tavernier (5 goals, 3 assists) is there as is Tehlo Aasgaard (4 goals, 2 assists), Chermiti (4 goals, 2 assists) and Emmanuel Fernandez (4 goals).   On the flank for many weeks, Edvin Kurtulus has played football again recently and will probably be on the scoresheet this evening. However, this will not be the case for G.

Terziev, who is still injured. Top scorer in this phase of the league with a total of 6 goals, Petar Stanic (4 goals, 6 assists in the league) will be there. Casually, he is the only one to stand out since behind him, no other player has scored at least 2 goals in this European campaign. In the league, local international Ivaylo Chochev is joint top scorer with a total of 11 goals to his name. He will of course take part in this trip to Scotland with Tekpetey and Duah (3 goals each in the league).
