Rangers - Dundee predictions

Top bookmakers online have made Rangers overwhelming favourites in this match and judging by the available odds it’s hard to see past a comprehensive home win here.

Dundee stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 23.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Rangers are coming off from a narrow 2:1 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Celtic ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

Dundee were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Hearts in the previous round. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the first half – and the second half didn’t go much better either, ending in a harsh 3:0 defeat.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Dundee may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

The first game these two teams played this season ended in a landslide victory for Rangers. We, and most bookies and betting predictions, would be quite surprised if it went the other way this time.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Tuesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.40 odds offer a decent return.
