- Jablonec have won four of their last five matches in all competitions (W4, L1). Jablonec have scored twice in two UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 games and are a patient, structured team with bite up top in the form of Saidou Alioum. Glasgow Rangers FC are a bit sharper in the transition, which may allow them to catch Jablonec off guard at times.
Sides similar in style but Rangers can edge it
Jablonec are a tough team to break down and a really solid side, as Glasgow Rangers FC found out when coming out on top by the minimum 1-0 in this UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 tie in Czechia today.
Lubos Kozel has constructed his team with a good bit of patience to their play, but also some structure and some flexibility to build from behind the ball, as well as from the first line of pressure. They probe and can really control the ball and tempo of the game at times.
But Derek McInnes has brought a compact, aggressive press to Rangers that is much more suited to the quick transition and they look much sharper in those moments than the hosts, while the Light Blues also seem more ruthless when the press bites.
Rangers have the edge in a fine 50-50 match
We don't think there is much to split these two sides in the end, so we're expecting a fine game in Czechia too. Rangers look the most likely to nick it, but Jablonec's home advantage and the structure they have makes it close.
The hosts have been unbeaten in five of their last six at home across all competitions and have won the last two. Rangers have four wins, three draws and three defeats in their last ten overall, which is solid, but not spectacular form. They are in the better run of form, however, having beaten Saint Mirren 5-1 and then Jablonec 1-0 last time out.
Draw a big price
The oddsmakers are still on the fence about this match with Rangers just slight favourites at 2.17 to Jablonec at 3.38, but the draw is a huge 3.53.
Rangers have shown their steel away from home in this competition already with a 1-0 win on their trip to Czechia and Ryan Don Naderi has opened their account in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 with his goal last time out, giving McInnes' side a direct threat up top.
Both teams to score looks live at 1.62 here, while over 2.5 goals at 1.8 points to a lively European scrap in Czechia on Thursday.
