Rangers v Sporting Lisbon Odds

The Rangers v Sporting Lisbon odds for this second round UEFA Cup betting match looks tough for the Glasgow side. At 11/4 to win in Lisbon, this highlights the difficulty of their task on Thursday evening. A score draw would be sufficient for Walter Smith's side to make it to the Semi finals where they would face either Fiorentina or PSV Eindhoven. Rangers come into this game looking like they will win the Scottish Premier League this season and to go all the way in the UEFA Cup would be the icing on the cake.

Ahead of the game there is concern for the fitness of their ace defender Carlos Cuellar who is trying to recover from a virus. Sporting also have an injury scare over Anderson Polga who looks as if he will not make the starting line up. There is better news for Striker Daniel Cousin who has been given the all clear to play after his broken jaw is now on the mend.

Sporting are 5/6 to win and the draw is a 9/4 chance. This game is a good test for Rangers as it will test their mental strength and where Scottish football stands in the pecking order of World football. Walter has done a great job at Rangers as he did with the National side and they are now emerging as a major force on the European football scene. It would be no surprise to see Rangers get the result they need in this match which is live on ITV4.
